UIL Rule Question

[H-STING]

My understanding is there’s no mercy rule for 11 man Football. So what is allowed and how does that work. Anytime after halftime coaches can agree to end contest? Are agree to just let the clock run? Coach wave’s across the field to the other coach  to say let the clock run? I noticed Newton was ahead big time at halftime, that triggered something. Also the Hemphill game they just let the clock run after the 3rd qtr. just a fan not a coach would like to understand what’s going on behind the scene with the coaches in games like this.

this is the rule: 

Timing Adjustments—ARTICLE 2

Approved Ruling 3-2-2

I. At halftime the score is 56-0. The coaches and the referee agree that the third and fourth quarters should be shortened to 12 minutes each. The coaches also request that the second half be played with a “running clock,” i.e., that the game clock not be stopped. RULING: The remaining quarters may be shortened to 12 minutes each. However, the “running clock” is not allowed; normal clock rules apply for the entire game.

That being said as long as both coaches agree they just run the clock in high school.

The remaining quarters may be shortened to 12 minutes each?

High school varsity contests are already played with 4 12 minute quarters.

Another new rule on kickoffs is the kicking team can only have one foot behind the 35 yard line when kicking off. When you kick from the 40 the most running start you get is 5 yard running start.
