Help me on this - since I'm in NC, too. We've always been confused on it -- (since DK didn't do a good job explaining it years ago).

If Team A has 2 left at end of 2nd half and goes to OT -- they'll have a total of 3 . If they use none - and it goes to OT again - do they have 3 still?

If they used one - would they have 3 again?

The way we've looked at it - they cannot have more than they started with in the original OT.

Thanks for the help.

Yep Bill, that's correct. In fact, I ran into an official on the NFHS discussion forum with the same question. I found an email that came out from DK's office with the information in it.

If a team has 3 TO to use in the 1st OT, the first 1 they use is considered to be the OT TO. If they don't use another, they would have 3 in the 2nd OT but they would never have more than 3.
