I saw this question posted on a another board and thought it was interesting...
Do any of you guys know of a team that had a running clock against them (whatever the "mercy" rule in your state is) but somehow managed to come back and win?
I was watching the Iowa state finals earlier today and apparently what they do is start a running clock when the winning team is up by 35. However, if the losing team closes the score to within 35 points, the normal clock operation is restored. I would imagine that a comeback could be possible under those rules.
However, in my state, once a 40-point differential has been reached, there will be a running clock for the remainder of the game (starting with the 3rd Quarter). I would imagine that a comeback would be pretty tough under those conditions.
