The thread about pulling up freshmen to the varsity led me to wonder what participation rules are in different states. What are your rules for splitting time between varsity, JV, freshman?
In Virginia our rule is that players are allowed to play a total of 40 quarters, the equivalent of ten regular season games. . Playing one play in a quarter is considered participating in a quarter. The only other restriction is that a player can't play two games in the same day. I'm not sure if it's a state rule but in our league juniors cannot play JV. We do not have freshman football.
What are the rules where you are?

Any player can play Varsity ball. If the player in question isn't yet 15, he must get a waiver signed by his parent, a doctor, and the coach.
Once a kid plays one snap of Varsity ball, no more JV or Freshmen ball.
And I believe a kid can only play in one game a week. So, no playing JV and then suiting up for Var in case of emergency.

Varsity: Everyone suits up for us (~65 on the team). There have been years where our Varsity starters played less than a half at their best position and moved over to play a position they might need to play due to injury or something and then had the JVs play the 3rd and Frosh play the 4th.
JVs: If you're not a senior and don't start or take about half of the snaps in a competitive varsity game you play. About half of the JV starters are juniors, half sophomores with a few of the better freshman who fill in. We demoted two juniors this week. They started early in the year. Neither of them went to the JV game. Not sure why...
Froshmore: All freshman suit up unless they are a varsity starter. Sophomores who don't get competitive varsity snaps suit up unless they are only not playing because they are stuck behind big time players.
Our league has vastly different ideas about what should be done with JV. One team sends everyone. Their starting senior all conference running back played the first half at QB against us last year on JV. They had 5 varsity starters including 2 juniors play in our 9/10 game this year. They had a junior get 50% of the varsity snaps at split end, 100% of the JV snaps at RB, and 50% of the Froshmore snaps at QB. Then we have teams in our league that send their 15 worst players to the JV game and don't even play the Froshmore game despite having 50-60 kids.

JV can be fr, so, and in rare cases jr. Varsity can be anyone. We have an 8 qtr rule where player can play JV and dress for varsity games and play up to 8 qtrs of varsity for the season. One play counts as a qtr. this is in NC

JV: 7th-9th Grade
Varsity: 8th-12th Grade.
We have a 6 quarter limit per week for any up and down players. We have had to play 3 8th graders all season. They hold their own (or at-least try to) against Juniors and Seniors.

In Rhode Island if a freshmen plays one snap of a varsity game then that player is ineligible for freshmen games.
Here the freshmen are in a league with playoffs and super bowl. Not every high school is apart of the freshmen league. Some dont have enough for their own team so they play jv. JV does not have a league so no post season. Anyone from freshmen to seniors can play jv but obviously it would be rare to see a team with a senior.

There is a 50 quarter rule in Ohio, not sure if anyone enforces it or checks it.
1.5) QUARTERS AND GAME LIMITATIONS
1.51A) 9th-12th grade student is limited to playing:
a) A maximum of four quarters in one day.
b) A maximum of 50 quarters per season (excluding OHSAA tournaments).
1.51B) 7th & 8th grade student is limited to playing:
a) A maximum of four quarters in one day.
b) A maximum of 32 quarters per season (28 quarters if seven regular
season games are scheduled).
1.52) Any player who participates in one or more consecutive downs in one quarter
shall be charged with one quarter of play. A down in which the offensive
team is in a scrimmage kick formation or a free kick occurs does not count
in the quarter limitation. A down repeated due to penalty does not count.

I forgot to add there is no limit to how many quarters a player can play jv and varsity. I don't think anyone does it, but a kid could play in all 4 quarters of the varsity game then play the whole jv game.
