At our school I think they stop the clock at 2 min mark so they can add time. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using proboards Same here. We are instructed that if there is a clock running, it MUST be stopped with 2 minutes to go as the clock is NOT official -- the center ref (or one of them if a dual-center system is used) or the fourth official has the official time. If this is different from NFHS rules that's OK with me -- at least there's a precedent for not always adhering to NFHS dictates (cough, cough, *uniforms*, cough, cough).

Each district can pretty much set the way they want to run their games. In a lot of places in the Northeast it is not uncommon for the clock to be official. There is also an easy way to correct the clock as the timekeeper is often down between the teams. Otherwise a lot of officials see the clock more as a nuisance than a resource.

You can keep official time on the clock if you have a clock present. However you must have an official time keeper at midfield. The ref can signal to stop time for injuries, goals, etc. I tried doing this once and had a tough time convincing the refs that these were the actual rules. I decided it wasn't worth the trouble and we simply stop the clock at the two minute mark.

Maybe a little bit of a heads-up can fix some attitudes toward the clock being official. JMO.

Love the way we do it now with center ref having official time and stopping the clock at 38 and 78... Yes, we do our clock from 00- 80:00 at The SWAMP.

Here was another new one last night. Season is winding down. Teams are trying to make it into districts, which is where playoffs start (we're in the biggest district of 45 AAA/Div I teams - only 20 advance from regular season & you haven't all played each other). Power Rankings are used. All of that may get covered in a different post if anyone is interested.
But we went to a 3-man officiating crew rather than the dual that is used 90% of the time. It was very odd. It was not a center with 2 AR's. All 3 had a whistle. All 3 were on the field. It felt like basketball except they had their zone in which they stayed. One on each half & one acting like a center. BUT they each took their turn at center for about 1/3 of the game.
I felt it would be hard for the teams to get into the flow with the center (since he changed at 25 and again at 55). Each usually has more or less tolerance than the next guy. The warnings to players also get lost. The "star" on the opposing team has 2 red cards on the season & must've been cautioned 7-8 times by each of the centers over the course of the game. If it had been 1 center, he would likely have stopped or received a card.
Just felt odd. First I've seen it. Any other experiences out there?

Having three refs on the field creates more clutter on the field for the players. Imagine how difficult it must be to pass around three refs versus one.

Paul... Would love to see their power rankings and also playoff format and rules. Will pull something together with more details. I'm just getting up to speed. Somewhat similar to LA and somewhat different. Here's a quick summary with more to come... Power Rankings are based on your results (55%) and your opponent's cumulative results (45%). Your results are factored based on size of school. Beating a D1 school = 1.2 wins and losing to them is only 0.8 of a loss. Beating a D3 school = 0.8 wins and losing to them is 1.2 losses. Playoff format seems similar to world cup (but I still need to analyze a few things) in that each district produces a different number of spots. Districts are bigger than LA although there are still 10-12 for PA (just more schools). About 600 schools compared to LA's 150-175. Regular season seeds playoffs within your district. Top few (varies by district) advance to next round of state playoffs. This is probably thing I like most so far. I will pull together some more details, but those are some highlights. Regular season ends on Tuesday.

It was christian.life academy that had all the fes and won state title Christian Life once fielded a 1A State Championship basketball team with four "exchange students," all about 6'7". But before that in the early 2000s Reserve Christian invented the scheme, winning class B basketball championships with "exchange students" from Poland, Croatia, etc. The practice was then adopted at Christian Life and was migrating to 5A baseball etc., (certain school (s) were suddenly finding exchange student players from Puerto Rica, etc.), when the LHSAA finally said "enough." The rule was changed to an exchange student only being eligible for one year, and only one "exchange student" per sport. The LHSAA usually looks closely at "parents that have moved with a talented athlete," but this being soccer, they may not be as strict as they are in the big three sports. Still, schools such as Lusher are known to have a lengthy waiting list of potential students. The paperwork for a talented athlete who "transfers" is supposed to fit the profile requirements of any other student accepted at a particular charter or magnet school. I'm sure hope these two, et al., do. I would not like to see the corner-cutting for talent start up in smaller school soccer as it did in other sports, just to defeat other small schools. Run what you brung and keep a level head about what the goal is.
