Old HS Timing Rules

[McMac]

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.

The "old" timing rules were that if you had a change of possession not involving a kick, i.e. 4th down punt with recovery by R, the clock started on the ready for play, not the snap.

If the play ended inbounds.

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.

An older timing rule was that it started on the RFP after any CoP.
