2009 HS Rule Changes
2-2-1 NOTE New
During state championship series contests, game or replay officials
are permitted to use a replay monitor to determine when a try for
goal at the expiration of time in the fourth quarter or any overtime
period (0:00 on the game clock) should be counted, and if so,
determine if it is a two- or a three-point goal.
5-6-2
When a red light behind the backboard or an LED light on the
backboard is present, it is permitted to signal the expiration of
time in the quarter/extra period. If no red/LED light is present,
the audible timer’s signal will continue to signal the expiration of
time.
