What stipulations do other states have concerning a running clock in the second half? What situations stop the clock when using a running clock?

in ohio you can't have a running clock, but you can shorten the quarters.

In ND, with a 30 plus margin in the second half, the clock continues to run on: OOB, incomplete pass, during the try.

This works ok, but in some cases, doesn't shorten the game by much. It is good in that you can still play a lot of younger kids. It used to be that the game was stopped at 45 pt margin and then you denied kids the chance to get to play. The 30-pt rule is better.

In Iowa we have a running clock in the 2nd half if one team is ahead by 35 or more. It only stops when there is a TD, time out, end of period, or extended injury TO.

Illinois is almost like Iowa, except our margin for a running clock is 40 points or more anytime from the start of the second half on. Once the clock enters this status, it won't go back to normal timing for the remainder of the game.

In my strange night post, the final score was 39-0. We didn't get to the running clock.

In our neck o' the woods it depends on which white hat you are working with as to how much the clock runs!

Wisconsin: 35 point margin. Clock stops on a score, charged team timeout, intermission between quarters, extended injury timeout, and any time the officials determine it necessary for safety reasons.

Cool

Florida just changed theirs this year-- with
a 35 point differential in the 3rd quarter it is
"voluntary"-- decided by the losing coach--
in the 4th quarter it is mandatory !

Same as Ohio in North Carolina.

I worked Friday night in Pouring Rain for both the JV and V games. Not many kids seemed to make it out of bounds on those sideline plays.

In GA if there is a 30 pt differential in the third quarter, the HC of the team behind has a choice for a running clock. The clock only stops for time-outs, conferences and during the time between a score and the kicking of the ball in a free kick. If there is a 30 pt differential in the fourth quarter then the running clock is mandatory.

Not on penalites in Wisconsin. Just scores, injuries, and timeouts.

It really runs a lot of time off during penalty enforcement.

Just a comment on our Ohio rule. While a coach will often quietly tell you to run the clock, it is rare that they will agree to shorten the quarters. To them it appears that they are giving up on their team; whereas, a running clock can be blamed on the officials. Also, if we bring up shortening the quarters, we appear to be in a hurry to get the game over with. For these reasons, I disagree with the Ohio rule.

Texas - there is no rule, except in 6-man football. But there is practice, especially at lower levels. I can't remember EVER doing a JV or V game where the clock ran, regardless of the absurdity of the score.
