1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 Historically the VHSL has asked for play clocks to be off beginning in the state semis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked to a guy today that used to ref. He told me he thought they could only use play clocks in the finals if both teams had play clocks at their home fields. If one or neither had them, they wouldn't be used in the title game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked one state final where both home teams had play clocks and we were told they werent allowed. Same goes for a couple of state semifinals. Hopefully they are relaxing that policy.

It seems like it's a huge help, esp for the HS kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 You would think. As an official I would say I wasnt as big of a fan of play clocks as I was keeping it on the field, mostly for blowout games, but in a game like that I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
