OHSAA Rules

  1. A, Try from B’s 3 YL. A sets up in a “muddle huddle” scrimmage kick formation with six A players on the LOS outside the left HM, two A players several yards off the LOS inside the right HM, a snapper, A80, over the ball in the center of the field, a holder with a knee on the ground 7 yards behind the snapper and A7 in position to kick the ball. The snapper, A80 makes a direct snap to A7 who fakes a pass to a receiver to his right and then passes over the middle to A80 in the EZ.

  2. A, 4/12 at A’s 30 YL. A is ahead, A 21 –B 18. There is 2:24 left in the 4th quarter. A’s legal kick is caught by B8 who fumbles the ball and the ball is recovered by A12. The R starts the clock on the RFP since A has a first down. After a play is run, B’s HC asks for a TO to discuss the clock status after the kick. There is 2:07 left in the 4th quarter. (a) Should the R have started the clock after the recovery by A? (b) What can the R do in correcting timing errors?

  3. B1 intercepts a pass at his own 3 YL. His momentum takes him into his own EZ where he fumbles. B1 and A13 simultaneously recover the loose ball.

  4. K, 4/17 from K’s 13 YL. K17’s kick hits the ground at K’s 23 YL. R8 then gives a FC signal at K’s 23 YL. R8 attempts to recover the loose ball, but muffs it and it rolls into K’s EZ where R60 falls on it.

  5. K, 4/10 on K’s 10 YL. R11 catches a kick on R’s 45 YL and advances to the 50 YL, where he runs OOB. While the kick is in flight, K66 holds at K’s 6 YL. R accepts K’s penalty. Clock status?

  6. A, 2/10 at B’s 32 YL. A11 is roughed after he releases a legal forward pass. A86 catches the pass and runs to B’s 4 YL where he fumbles. The ball strikes the GL pylon. Clock?

  7. A11 snaps the ball before the RFP.
