Thanks for the reminder---

I had a JC game where the Visitors scored on the last play and kicked the PAT to win 56-55. The game took 5:20. Yes, it was at Palomar in the '1980s. There were 2 running plays combined, the whole game.

Had a 58-45 game early this year....almost entirely passing. 3:20 if I'm not mistaken, plus an hour and a half drive to get there or back, to boot.

This year we had a JV game (10 minute quarters) in the pregame the visiting coach told us, "If we run the ball it was an accident."

They received the opening kickoff and punted after 3 incomplete passes with the punt returned for a touchdown at 9:41 on the clock...

Insuing kickoff ran two plays, one of them complete and then threw an interception which was returned for a touchdown at 9:00 on the clock...

Insuing kickoff two incomplete passes, a free first down on a roughing the passer penalty, three more incomplete passes and then a blocked punt. Home team took their first snap around the B19 and ran in for a touchdown at 8:21.

NE uses a running clock when a team is ahead by 35 points in the second half. The game started at 6:30 and halftime was at 8:15. Got back in the car after the game at 9:30.


Last game of the regular season was a 9th grade Tuesday afternoon thriller. 8 minute quarters, spent the entire 2nd quarter inside the 20 on one side of the field. Including 7 downs with a flag in a row. The game was under 2 hours, but the 2nd quarter was a real joy to work.

Not about time, but I had a game end 0-1.

Who can figure that out?

Easy. It was a baseball game.

Ahhh...ye had a forfeit. Don't tell me you drove an hour and had to declare a forfeit? I hate those situations, though I haven't had it happen yet.

The only way to score 1 point in a game is a forfeit.

Rule 8-1.

Surprised not to have heard from JugglingReferee or one of the others...

I grew up in Canada, where a punt through the end zone will give the team 1 point - a Rogue. I think it is awarded anytime the American rules would award a TB (but I'm not sure about that - I don't know the Canadian rules that well anymore)
