Too many quarters

[frezer11]

They were out, but even taking an excessive would be better. Wow, can't believe I didn't think of that earlier. For the record, not my game, but rather my home town team was the visitor, and the the home team ended up not doing anything and had to forfeit the game this morning.

Maybe, the officials could have said by conference/state rules(whatever) A1 is no longer eligible to participate and a sub is required. Even after the first horn....just a thought.

Ideas...

In the spirit of the game--if B HC is not pitching a fit--just wave the kid in and play ball.

What about an argument along the lines of telling B HC that the table just now informed us all that A6 is about to play his/her 6th quarter and, based upon that (new) knowledge, we have to sub him/her out. Thinking along the lines of letting a kid play with 5 fouls for a minute because the table failed to let us know...we wouldn't penalize this, just immediately get the kid out of the game after we're made aware.

Worst case, if you have any chance of pulling it off successfully, can you step up and (wink, wink) say you saw the kid on the way to the table before the horn went off?

This obviously varies by state but here ohio says1.9) Penalty for participation in more than five (5) quarters per day:
• When discovered during a contest, the team shall be assessed a technical foul by the
official and the student shall be disqualified from the game. All quarters played shall
count toward the maximum permitted.
• When discovered after a contest is completed, there is no team or individual penalty
but all quarters played by the individual shall count toward the maximum permitted
for the player.
1.10) Length of quarters:
a. Varsity — 8 minute quarters.:
