I am curious as to how many states have a six-quarter rule? If you have it, how do like it and how are the quarters played tracked (do you have to submit something to a conference or league office)?

We have it, don't have to submit anything. It's basically policed by the coaches. If you think a kid played too many quarters and they disagree you would go to the film for proof. I think I've only heard of one game being forfeited in our state since we went to 6 quarters. As for the 14-game rule, that one's a little suspect. How am I going to know whether a kid on our week 9 schedule has played more than 13 games already? |

Our football coaches association is trying to get the state to adopt a six quarter rule similar to Georgia's. One of the things the people in the league office throw back at us is how to verify it. Our contention is that they trust the baseball coaches to keep track of pitch counts, so why can't we be trusted to keep track of quarters played. |

the key part to ga rule is that the count starts on varsity game (friday) and runs through the following thursday. you don't have to worry about kids playing in a varsity game if the need arose. at smaller schools, piecing together the jv team the next week can be challenging. and it's all self enforced.

I wish we had a 6 quarter rule in CA but we are more likely to become the first state to ban football, than add more quarters of football for a kid in a week

We have an 8 quarter rule. There is paperwork that must be kept on file, faxed to the conference, and a post game online form to be completed. Schools have forfeited numerous games over the misapplication of the rule. It has been limited considerably in the last couple of years, but still good for having that backup QB available who plays JV and is good for providing depth for small schools.

The GA rule is basically someone tells on you or you self report, because we don't submit anything.
Plus it starts on Friday night and works through Thursday.
It isn't a problem for us, we do play about 10 kids 6 quarters. They all chill with there pads off after Half time of the JV game.

In a few where one team will flat out dominate the first half, then their key guys undress, and the other begins to dominate. |

Especially if the kid who comes out is the QB or stud RB |

I am in SoCal and we do not have a qtr limit (which is beneficial for many of the small schools around here). At some schools I have been at our JV are our V backup, and there have been times we have had players play significant minutes in both.
BY having a 6 qtr rule we would not have been able to field a JV team and a number of kids would not play.

We have a 6 quarter rule, but it is self enforced. Most JV and FROSH games have started playing 2 20 min "quarters" instead of 4 10 min quarters. This helps kids not break the 6 quarter rule. I have always been told that there is no real punishment, unless a kid were to get hurt and then you wouldn't be covered liability wise if you played more than 6 quarters.
