That is not relevant to what I was saying. I just think people need to realize that the National Federation makes rules and states choose to follow them. Not that this is unique to our state, but many people say, "IHSA Rules" when they are referring to NF Rules.

Of course it is. The OP wanted to know what colors goal posts could be painted IN ILLINOIS. *I* don't know what Illinois allows that might be outside the NFHS standard.

Saying only that "(t)he IHSA uses in all sports National Federation Rules" implies that they use NFHS with no modifications.

Can you name any modifications? I certainly cannot.

And what is in the rulebook is the standard. States have the right to define how some rules are interpretation or if there is a policy that might be used, but this certainly does not apply to the color of the goal posts. For example there is a policy for concussions that we must follow, but the rules are not modified to accomplish that policy. The rules only deal with what is defined to allow a player come back into play. And that policy did not modify any NF rule to create a policy. If we identify a player that has concussion-like-symptoms, we still remove them from the game.

Maybe you can help me remember, but I do not know of not a single NF Rule in football that we do not apply across the board in Illinois.

Overtime?

Point differential?

Are those modifications are state adopted rules (under NF Rulebook)?

FED Overtime procedure states that the ball is placed on the 10 yard line, and there is no provision in FED rules for a change to timing rules or game termination due to point differentials. If your state is starting from other than the 10 yard line for OT, or making special rules depending on point differential then your state has adopted modifications.

No, my state uses the same listed OT procedure that is in the rulebook.

I was only trying to make the point that the IHSA does not create their own rulebook. That was it.

Not only a false statement, but absurd. I don't know about football, but Federation has state association adoptions for several things in basketball -- coaches box and ball size for jr. high boys to name two. Nobody would ever care about the latter. If a state did, for example, allow a ball size difference for jr. high, are you seriously saying that the COMPLETE sentence, "(state) uses Federation rules for basketball" is untrue?

No it doesn't. It means they use NFHS and do not write their own rule books.

Of course, you already knew that.
