Quarter Length

[jTheUmp]

MN does halves, not quarters:
18 min for Varsity
16 min for JV
14 min for 9th grade
12 min for 7th/8th

I've had a few exceptions to this... 12 minute 9th grade game with a 14 minute JV game on a night when the start of the 9th grade game was delayed 45 minutes due to bus-stuck-in-traffic issues, for example.

Also, one school up here does a "5th quarter" for their 9th grade games: 8 minute running time and they add an extra $8 into our game checks. Yes, I think I can work for an extra dollar per minute, thank you very much.

I was at a game Friday night where the JV(or B squad as we call it here) were 14 miniutes. And thats how it has been out here in WC MN since halves were put in. Just across the border in Sd where quarters are used they play 6:00
