FED, JV and Varsity

[Ignats75]

In Ohio, the OHSAA allows for 5 quarters per day (OT doesn't count) and a maximum of 90 per season. (State Tourney doesn't count). With a 20 game regular season, that allows for some overlap.

It is not the official's job to monitor the quarters. If there is a violation, it goes to the state and the state will rule (usually forfeits).

Basketball Participation Limits – Consecutive Halves

The daily participation limit for basketball is a maximum of three (3) halves per day. The rule which did not allow three consecutive halves to be played, has been removed. For example, a player can now play both halves in a preliminary game and the first half of the varsity game, or they could play in the 2nd half of the preliminary game and both halves of the varsity game – as long as the total is not more than 3 in one day.

The season limitation remains the same. An individual player cannot participate in more halves per season than the number equal to three (3) times the number of varsity games scheduled

Kansas has a 5-quarter per day rule, plus an overall number of game days per season (which I'm not certain of). Used to be 20.

OT doesn't count, and in the case of small schools without enough players sometimes you'll see sub-varsity games played in 4-minute quarters as that allows two quarters to count as one in terms of the rules. Lots of kids will play a quarter or two of JV and then 3 or 4 of varsity ball.

Still is 20. In additon, the referees have been instructed to not allow a player in the game if it will cause a 6th quarter violation. So much for answering, "That's not my problem." The penalty is a 1 game reduction of allowed games i.e. that player is only allowed to participate in 19 games.
