3. Concussion: When a player has signs or symptoms of a concussion he is suspended
from the game and may not reenter the game. This is based upon Ohio House Bill 143.
If an Ohio Team plays a game in another state,this Rule applies. If an out of state team
plays a game in Ohio,this Rule applies. This is because it is a state law now.

5. Officials Uniform: It is a Crew Decision whether to wear shorts or pants during a varsity
game this year. Itis not a decision that can be made by a League Assigner or
Commissioner. Why were shorts added for varsity games for the first time this year?
Statistics indicate it is hotter;more teams play on synthetic turf fields which are hotter;
and more teams now employ a “hurry up” offense and/or a spread offense.
