chseagle,

I'm coming to your locale Wednesday night for the BV game...if we have a blowout, you do know it is going to be all your fault.

Concerning the 40 point mercy rule:

Keep the clock running untill the official reports the foul and indicates there will be foul shots...then you can turn off the clock and wait for the official to signal a start of the clock with a "chop".

Stop clock for TO's and between quarters.

There you go...that part of our pre-game is over...now we can talk about what you are going to get Mrs. Scorekeeper for Christmas.
