Game Time and Time Outs Games will be two 25-minute halves of running time. Only the last two minutes of the second half will be stopped for all dead ball situations – e.g. time-outs; penalties; change of possession; out of bound plays; incomplete passes; and all scores. Half time will be 2-minutes The offensive team has 15 seconds from the time the ball and restraining line are set by the officials to put the ball back into play. If the team exceeds 15 seconds, officials will call a delay of game penalty. A game or half cannot end on a defensive penalty unless the penalty is refused. Each team will be given two 30-second timeouts per half. Timeouts do not carry over from one half to the next. (See “Tie and Overtime” section, infra, for rules regarding overtime timeouts.)

  • NFHS Rules Differences
    NFHS Rules Differences The purpose of these presentations is to highlight the differences between NFHS and NCAA rules. It is not intended to be a comprehensive review of all the rules. Many of the NFHS rules definitions in Rule 2 are similar to the relevant rules in the NCAA code. These include: blocking definitions, scrimmage formation and free kick formation. The net effect is that for these definitions, they are administered and/or officiated the same in both codes unless noted below. Also, there are terms that are different but are the same description. These include: restraining line in NFHS is akin to the limit line in NCAA; face tackling/butt blocking are terms akin to using the crown of helmet/facemask to tackle/block, first touching versus illegal touching, boundary lines versus sidelines, free kick lines versus restraining lines. There are others that are defined in only one of the codes, but have no bearing: offensive blocker, captain, non-player, rule, belongs to, deliberate dead ball advance, between downs, forward, beyond, blocking a scrimmage kick, field goal attempt. We are not going to get hung up on the terminology differences and will use the terms interchangeably. Each rule is broken down into three segments: 1) Low importance – defined as items we don’t need to focus on, and will administer as before, 2) Minor importance – items you need to be aware of, but they involve situations that are rare or are not germane to the playing of the game, 3) Major importance – these are the items we need to focus on, especially if they relate to safety.

  • Pass Interference and Illegal Contact on a Receiver
    Pass Interference and illegal contact on a receiver Pass interference is a judgment call. There can be contact beyond the line of scrimmage that is not pass interference. It is forward-pass interference if any player of A or B who is beyond the neutral zone interferes (to interpose in a way that hinders or impedes: come into collision) with an eligible opponent's opportunity to move toward, catch or bat the pass or hinders an opponent’s vision with out making an attempt to catch, intercept or bat the ball, even though no contact was made. There is no “5-yard bump and run” rule in High School Football. The pass being uncatchable has no bearing on the ruling of pass interference. Both receiver and defender have the right to catch the ball. An offensive receiver on his line may contact the defender across the line from them but, contact must terminate before traveling more than 2 yards down field if the ball is thrown across the line of scrimmage. Offensive receivers need to avoid contact with all defensive players as defenders are eligible receivers also. Any blocking down field by an offensive player is Offensive Pass interference if the ball crosses the line of scrimmage. A defensive player must avoid contact with a receiver who is no longer a potential blocker. So a receiver is a potential blocker until there is a pass. A defender can contact an offensive receiver until the ball is thrown. All plays are running plays until the ball is passed. Pass interference on the defense can only happen in the area of the field where the ball is thrown.
