NFHS Rule question

I believe that is left up to each state to determine but I'm not 100% sure.

I am interested in information for New York. Looked all over, best I can find is that you are limited to 2 scrimmages in a day. Have a bit of a situation that would make the spring trip a lot more difficult to manage.

talk to your hs ad

I imagine that, as TRhit said, checking with the AD would be best.

This is from the NYSPHAA site:

If I am correct, scrimages are counted as "contests", and a team is allowed no more than 20 contests per season, excluding playoffs.

But I'd check with the AD to be sure.

Yeah that's not real clear as to what you can / cannot do according to their handbook. I would just email someone in charge at the state association and ask.

They have a "frequently asked questions" handout that's 24 pages and never answers the question that I have. You're right, check with the HS AD, the Section Admin people, or the state. Someone smarter than us will know the answer.

Please post it if you find out.

Got different answers from section rep and AD, just trying to figure which one is correct. AD says 3 above the 20 game limit, rep says unlimited. The devil is always in the detail, or in this case, the definition of a "contest". Rep may be saying unlimited with the understanding any above the 3 would count against the game schedule.

This is my best suggestion at this point.

Ed Dopp is the AD at Shaker HS in Latham, NY. He is also the NYSPHSAA Baseball Coordinator. All I have is a work number (518) 785-5511.

Give him a call.
