Anyone in Georgia hear about this??

I'm in Georgia and hadn't heard of that one. It's amazing what folks come up with, though, when they think they have to.

The only way I can see this as being an issue is if the game in question preceded two other scheduled games (and they were held on a night when there is school the following day). The rule we have is that if there is a doubleheader on such a night the first game has to start no later than 6pm. We've been instructed to shave period time for JV contests to comply with this rule (running clock's not an option - ever).

Since this was apparently a varsity contest, however, I cannot imagine what they were thinking (other than get the flippin' game over).
