stoppage of the clock

[JRutledge]

I guess you need to get out more often.

I know I am not going to work youth football games (3 and 4 games in a row in most cases) and I am going to run a normal clock. Then I am going to get paid what I would for a regular HS game. These leagues never pay the same amount for one game in my area as they would for a HS game, where you are suppose to use timing rules as the NF intended them.

This guy has not given us the handbook in which the league goes by. Of course as a basis they are going to use NF rules. The kids will play under those rules. But I would bet all my checks for the season there are weight requirements, eligibility rules (who can carry the ball or not), whether coaches can or cannot be on the field and the issue at hand, what the timing rules apply. They never just take on all HS rules. I would bet that they do not play 12:00 minute quarters and do not have 20 minute sportsmanship meetings as required by the IHSA.

This guy just wanted to get someone to agree with him, without asking the proper people that run the league or look at the league handbook to cover all the "league rules" that apply to that league and that league only.

If that upsets you, I guess you will just have to be that way.

Peace
