Old HS Timing Rules
This may be a stupid question for some of you, but this is my first year doing HS football. I also work with a Pop Warner league, but they use the "old" timing rules, but I do not know what that exactly means in terms of when the clock starts and stops. Can any of you help me out with this?
Thanks in advance. |

Our JV and middle school timing rules:
On a change of possession, the clock starts on the ready unless the previous play ended OOB or with an incomplete pass.

Probably mid-90's before they made that stupid rule change the prolongs games unnecessarily.

I'd say '93 or '94, not later. I remember it by the crew that I was with at the time.

That's irrelevant. What matters is what the person meant who told you they use "old" timing rules. And did he mean Fed's old timing rules, or Pop Warner's old timing rules?
30+ yrs. ago I know Pop Warner was using modifications over Fed regarding what were then Fed's timing rules. |

I only bring up my age, because them saying the "old" timing rules doesn't tell me what those rules are when I have never officiated under those rules like the officials who told me it was the "old" rules, or like officials on this board. Hence why I came asking what those rules are. |

This PW league has thrown me in as a WH, so that is how I ran it this week. I WH'ed in college in FLAG football, but this is my first year working TACKLE football, so being behind the play is not new, its still trying to master the rules of tackle football, which I feel are getting better each week as I study more and have more game experiences. (On MS/JV nights I work as a linesman.)
