So, how'd you like a game to start like THIS?

No. The resumption of play procedure is a completely separate part of rule 10-1-5b.

If the resumption of play procedure does not apply, as is the case in this particular situation, it is an immediate T to delay the game with no prior warning.

Just mark it up as yet another example of a rule that you don't understand.

Enough already.

A vote.

Somebody set up one of those poll thingys. How many would call a T for the clown throwing powder up in the air and delaying the start of the game.


I vote no.

Are you serious? You want to settle a rules question by having a poll? A poll in which anyone without even a basic amount of actual rules knowledge is allowed to have a vote? Great idea! Let the fans, players, coaches and non-qualified officials decide what the rules should be.

Don't you think that a better alternative might be to submit the question to a member of the NFHS rules committee, a state rules interpreter or a knowledgable, accepted source?

He's talking about a poll here on the board. Not official, not binding. Relax.

And just exactly what would the results of said poll actually prove?

ANSWER: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

You could have one of the choices of the poll being the person who spilled the powder be castrated and horsewhipped. If 84% of the respondents choose that option, does that mean that is the correct and approved way to handle the situation?

A poll is a complete waste of time and a complete WOBW. That was my point.

Good grief. Are you really this full of yourself? 75% of what goes on this board would be considered by someone to be a waste of bandwidth.

I said 10-1-5b does not apply to the OP period

10-1-5a is specific to this situation
ART. 5 . . . Allow the game to develop into an actionless contest, this includes the following and similar acts:
a. When the clock is not running consuming a full minute through not being ready when it is time to start either half.

there is no need to move beyond this section of the rule because it is specific to the situation.

5b enlists the of the ROP procedure because it is specifically refering to delay situations where it may be possibly to use this procedure rather than going directly to the technical. This situation is not one of them so 5b does not apply here.
