Does anyone out there have a regularly scheduled bye week to make up missed games during the course of the season? I am meaning the whole state/association has that built into the schedule?
This is second year in a row that our state has been affected by weather to the extent that a vast number of schools had to cancel games with out the option of playing a day early (Thursday) or playing it the next day (Saturday) or moving it to Monday. The HS League announced that playoffs would move back a week and the games to be played tonight will be made up during that time.
It was much better than last year when the option was to move the game to Monday and then some fields were still flooded and had to cancel a second week and ended up trying to play 3 games in a 12 day time frame. I'm wondering if it might become the norm to have the contingency plan already in place to have that open week in place from the get go.

MO does not. People will move games to Thursday or Saturday. Or will move the game up on Fridays.
Week 2 we sat for about 2 hours during half time waiting out a storm to finish a game. Got home about about 3 AM. Good times.

Some districts start in week 2 and play it through from there. Most schools in our district choose the early date, giving a bye/makeup date at the end. |

We have a 10 game season, week 1-10. However, you can schedule a 'week 0' game while most are still doing jamborees. However, that is an individual school's choice. |

With our schedule we still get two scrimmages. |

I know one year we were so bad that we could not find a reasonable game so we only played 9 games that year  |

Well, another interesting twist on the season: much of the Low State in SC is flooded and many schools are not back in session still. So the HSL had an emergency meeting this morning and pushed back the playoffs another week. So teams up this way will have TWO weeks off before the start of the 1st round of playoffs. And there might be a team or 2 that will have THREE weeks off is they manipulated their schedule before the season to have their bye in week 10.
