PLAY BY THE RULESMutual agreements to violate NFHS playing rules or AHSAA rules are not

permitted and may result in the suspension of the schools involved.Protests of high school athletic contests are not recognized by the NFHS

and the AHSAA unless specifically provided by the NFHS Rules code in a particular sport.

PARTICIPATION REMINDERA school that sponsors a team or an individual in any sport competition

and elects not to participate in the championship program is subject to penalty, which could include suspension from championship play for the remainder of the classification period.

FILMING AND TAPINGA school shall not video tape nor film any contest in which it is not involved

unless it has received permission from both participating schools.

HOST SCHOOL’S RESPONSIBILITYIt will be the responsibility of the host school to make certain the visiting

team fans have a separate, designated place to sit, free from any harassment of home fans. In cases where this is prohibitive because of the facilities, the host school assumes responsibility of providing adequate security to prevent such harassment. Also the host school must provide adequate security for game officials.

2015 FALL FOOTBALL PRACTICE RULE

Prior to the start of a 10-day spring football evaluation period, three days of heat conditioning in helmets is required. No other equipment (balls, pads, etc.) may be used and no coaching is permitted. Anything that simulates practice will mark the first day of a school’s allotted 10 days of practice. Note: The three days of heat conditioning in helmets are not required for students involved in a spring sport.

Football practice may begin on Monday, Aug. 3. The first two days of fall football practice must be in shorts. Only shorts and helmets are allowed the first two days of fall football practice. Shoulder pads and helmets are allowed on the third practice day for a period not to exceed 90 minutes of total practice time and not exceed 120 (2 hours) minutes on the fourth day. On the fifth practice day, one full-speed contact practice, in full gear, is allowed not to exceed 90 minutes. The earliest date full pads may be worn is Aug. 6.

The first varsity game may be played Aug. 20 or any date thereafter. Junior varsity, junior high and middle school teams may play their first contest Aug. 27 or any date thereafter.

AHSAA GuidelinesFor Full-Speed Contact during Football Practices

AHSAA Regulations: During the regular season, including championship play, and the allowed 10-day spring evaluation period, AHSAA member schools must restrict the amount of full-speed contact football practice. These guidelines are intended to limit the amount of full-speed contact and not to limit the number of practices in full pads.

Week 1 – In accordance with the AHSAA Fall Football Practice Rule (Rule III, Section 18, Page 44 of the 2015-16 Handbook), only shorts and helmets are allowed the first two days of fall football practice. Shoulder pads and helmets are allowed on the third practice day for a period not to exceed 90 minutes of total practice time and not exceed 120 (2 hours) minutes on the fourth day.

8 Football

On the fifth practice day, one full-speed contact practice, in full gear, is allowed not to exceed 90 minutes.

Week 2 – Alternating days of full-speed contact practice, not to exceed a combined total of 120 minutes of full-speed contact is allowed. In addition, one intra-squad scrimmage is allowed in week 2.

Week 3 – Alternating days of full-speed contact practice, not to exceed a combined total of 120 minutes of full contact is allowed. One interscholastic scrimmage or contest is allowed in week 3.

Week 4 through End of Season – A total of 90 minutes of full-speed contact prac-tice per week is allowed.

Spring Evaluation – Alternating days of full-speed contact practice, not to exceed a combined total of 120 minutes of full-speed contact per week is allowed dur-ing the 10 allowable days for evaluation. One interscholastic scrimmage contest is allowed during the spring evaluation and counts as one of the 10 allowable days.

The following definitions describe the different levels of contact in football practice:

Actions that require contact limitations:

Live Action – Contact at game speed in which players execute full blocking and tackling at a competitive pace, taking players to the ground.

Full-speed contact – Any simulations in which live action occurs.

Thud – Any live action or full-speed contact with no pre-determined winner or without taking a player to the ground.

Actions that do NOT require contact limitations:

Air – Players should run unopposed without bags or any opposition.

Bags – Activity is executed against a bag, shield or pad to allow for a soft-contact surface, with or without the resistance of a teammate or coach standing behind the bag.

AHSAA RecommendationsFor Heat Related Illnesses

Playoff FormatSchools must play all other participating schools in its region to qualify for the

championship program.If a school in a given region fails to qualify for the playoff program, a game

with that school will be treated as a non-region game. The first four places in each region will be determined by the won-loss percentage against qualified region opponents. Only games added and reported to the State Office before the first contest date will count in the championship program.

In case of ties by two or more teams for a certain place in the final region stand-ings, follow the tie-breaking procedure and apply the tiebreakers in the order listed, beginning with (a).

Tie-Breaking Procedure1. Resolve all two-team ties first, using tiebreaking factor (a).

2. If two or more teams are tied for one of the qualifying places in a sport, first resolve the tie for the highest of those places in the standings, then the next highest place in the standings, etc.

3. To resolve the team rankings if more than two teams are tied, determine the highest-ranked team by applying the tiebreakers in the order listed, beginning with (b). Until the highest-ranked team has been determined, no consideration will be given to determining the ranking of the other teams involved in that tie.

After the highest ranked team has been resolved, then the next highest-ranked team will be determined by applying the same tiebreakers, beginning with (a) or (b) as necessary.

4. If a certain tiebreaker does not apply to the tie being resolved, apply the next tiebreaker in the order listed for that sport.

5. Forfeited contests count as losses. A team that intentionally forfeits a required game becomes ineligible for championship competition for the remainder of that classification period plus the next classification period in that sport.

6. If two area, region or section teams elect to play each other more than the required number of contests during the same season, the first contest played (or first at each site if two are required in a sport) will be used in computing stand-ings unless the State Office is otherwise notified in writing by both schools prior to the season. The other contest(s) will be treated as non-required contest(s).

7. Contests against teams that are not eligible for the championship program are not used in figuring any tiebreakers

18 Football

IF TWO TEAMS TIE . . .a) If two teams are tied for any place, the team that defeated the other in the

required regular season game will be placed above the other tied team. The team that lost its head-to-head contest will qualify for the next highest place.

IF MORE THAN TWO TEAMS TIE …b) If more than two teams are tied for any place, the team that defeated all the

other tied teams in the required regular season games will be placed ahead of all the other tied teams. If one of the teams did not defeat all the other tied teams, the tie cannot be resolved by this factor.

c) If more than two teams are tied for any place, the team (or teams) that had thehighest winning percentage against the No. 1 ranked team will be ranked aheadof all the other tied teams. If there is a three-way tie for first place, apply (f) andthe remaining tiebreakers in the order as needed.

If two teams tie for the highest winning percentage ahead of all the other teams involved in the tie, the team that defeated the other in their required regu-lar season game will be placed ahead of all tied teams. Then, if necessary, apply(a) or (b) as applicable for the remaining teams in the tie.

d) Apply (c) using percentage against the No. 2 ranked team.If two teams tie for the highest winning percentage ahead of all the other

teams involved in the tie, the team that defeated the other in their required regu-lar season game will be placed ahead of all tied teams. Then, if necessary, apply(a) or (b) as applicable for the remaining teams in the tie.

e) Apply (c) using percentage against the No. 3 ranked team.If two teams tie for the highest winning percentage ahead of all the other


f) Apply (c) using percentage against the No. 4 ranked team.If two teams tie for the highest winning percentage ahead of all the other


g) Apply (c) using percentage against the No. 5 ranked team.If two teams tie for the highest winning percentage ahead of all the other


h) Apply (c) using percentage against the No. 6 ranked team.If two teams tie for the highest winning percentage ahead of all the other

teams involved in the tie, the team that defeated the other in their required regu-

lar season game will be placed ahead of all tied teams. Then, if necessary, apply (a) or (b) as applicable for the remaining teams in the tie.

i) Apply (c) using percentage against the No. 7 ranked team.If two teams tie for the highest winning percentage ahead of all the other

teams involved in the tie, the team that defeated the other in their required regu-lar season game will be placed ahead of all tied teams. Then, if necessary, apply (a) or (b) as applicable for the remaining teams in the tie.

j) Apply (c) using percentage against the No. 8 ranked team.If two teams tie for the highest winning percentage ahead of all the other


k) The team with the best winning percentage against non-required common oppo-nents.

If two teams tie for the highest winning percentage ahead of all the other teams involved in the tie, the team that defeated the other in their required regu-lar season game will be placed ahead of all tied teams. Then, if necessary, apply (a) or (b) as applicable for the remaining teams in the tie.

l) The team whose defeated non-region opponents (in classs, above class, and within two classes below) have the most victories if all teams involved in the tie play an equal number of games.


m) The team whose defeated opponents have the most victories if all teams involved in the tie play an equal number of games.


n) The team whose defeated opponents have the most victories.If two teams tie for the highest winning percentage ahead of all the other


o) The team with the most victories if all teams involved in the tie play an equal number of games.

p) The team with the most victories.If two teams tie for the highest winning percentage ahead of all the other


q) By flip of a coin.The coin flip will be administered by the State Office. The first flip resulting

in an odd coin will place the team represented by that coin ahead of all the other tied teams.
