I once shortened a fourth quarter to 30 seconds in a JV game on a hot day where 3 kids from the visiting team had already passed out from the heat. Ran one more play and went home. It was my first year, and I mistakenly thought that we could not terminate the game. |

Did have a case last year where both sides agreed to a running clock as a response to an "emergency situation." Subvarsity game in November up in the mountains with the snow falling hard on a field with no lights. Played 10 minute stop clock quarters in the first half and then 10 minute quarters with a running clock in the second half.

They both have to agree. Once they do, then the officials should agree as well. |

But if they agree, does it bring down hell on both of them, as implied upthread? Or does that happen only if only one of them wants to end the game?

Then what about failure to play within two minutes after being ordered to do so by the referee, which accomplishes the same thing? Does that one have consequences or not?

Put it this way, anytime a team is forfeiting a game, for whatever reason, more likely than not, there will be consequences.
