Connecticut adopts score control policy

[ljudge]

Hey Walt...I just saw this on another thread. Has your chapter made a suggestion to change this when you submit your suggested rules changes? Our chapter submits this every year.

Bob M might have information on what changes were submitted.

REPLY: Walt, Joe...I really don't know how (if) changes are submitted. I would suspect that offical-requested changes go from the local interpreter to Mascherin, and then into the state. I'm not sure at all how coach or AD requested changes get there.

I'll check it out and let you know.

REPLY: Walt, Joe...here's what I found out: All requested changes to the Fed are through the member state associations (e.g. the NJSIAA). They would be brought to the Fed via our NJ Federation Rules Committe member (up until this season--Jim Loper). Requests from officials were channeled to Loper through our state interpreter--Tony Mascherin. Requests from coaches and ADs were channeled to Loper through something called the NJ Football Committee (??).

Thanks, Bob. You are a fountain of information.

Running clock is the way to go !
I just wish they'd make it mandatory here
for the entire 2nd half.
Also-the coaches should know better than to put
in a 1st team defense to preserve a shutout win !!
That's the thing that bugs me most.

Running clock would be the way to go. In our 8 man conferences if it hits 45 at or after halftime then the game is over. I would like to see it all become running clock automatically, no choice on the part of either coach.
