Question that I cannot find the answer to in rules book. I think I know it and it came from a state rules meeting regarding the total number of quarters a player can play in on one night. One player can play a combined 6 quarters in one night while playing in the Sophmore and Varsity games. Right? Or is it 5 quarters? This is Iowa rules.

Please let me know.

Thanks.

Maybe in Iowa, but I havent heard of any rule like this.

Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union rules:

Player and Team Limitations---Iowa High School teams may play 21 games and Junior High teams may play 12 games. In high school each player is limited to 21 games---if she plays in 1-2 quarters on a calendar day, it counts as no game. If she plays in 3-6 quarters on a calendar day, it counts as one game. If she plays in 7-8 quarters on a calendar day, it counts as two games. In junior high, a player may only play in four quarters on a calendar day.

Iowa High School Athletic Assoc. Boys rules:

Quarters - Player Limitation Rule. A player may participate in a maximum of 6 quarters in one day. If a player participates in 3 to 6 quarters in one day, it constitutes one game toward the 21 games a player is allowed to participate in during the season. (1 or 2 quarters of participation does not constitute a game). Junior high boys basketball players are limited to 4-quarters in one day.

Hope this helps.

Thanks
