Just watched a kid play 4 quarters in a Fr. game after playing 4 quarters in a JV game on Monday...
 
only allowed 5 per week

Note 1: The weekly limit for football is 4 varsity quarters or any combination of 5 varsity and sub varsity quarters provided no more than 3 quarters are at the varsity level

From 1009 DIAA High School Interscholastic Athletics:

4.3.6.2 A student who exceeds the weekly or daily contest limitation shall be considered an ineligible athlete and the school subject to the process stipulated in 2.10.

2.10.2 The deliberate or inadvertent use of an ineligible athlete in the sports of soccer, football, volleyball, field hockey, basketball, baseball, softball, and lacrosse shall require the offending school to forfeit the contest(s) in which the ineligible athlete participated.
 
Is that in any 7 day period. Or based a static period. In my coaching days we could use a player Friday night varsity even if they played JV early in the week.?

If we used them on Friday then Monday their quarters may be limited.

Though most likely Monday/Thursday is right out
 
4.3.2.3 Participation in any part of a quarter or half shall count as a quarter or half toward the weekly and daily limitations in that sport. However, in the case of football, participation on a free kick or a play from a scrimmage kick formation shall not count as a quarter. Overtime periods shall be considered as part of the fourth quarter or second half.

4.3.3 A week shall be designated as starting on Monday and ending on Sunday for all sports except football. A football week shall begin the day of the varsity game and end the day preceding the next varsity game or the following Friday.
 
I am guessing nobody cares if they forfeit a JV or Freshman contest being no standings are kept anyway
 
The team actually lost both JV and Fr game so forfeiture is a moot point but it’s still just blatantly wrong. The coaches/ school administration should be ashamed
 
DIAA has other penalties it can levy:

2.10.5 The intentional use of an ineligible athlete by a member school or repeated indifference to its responsibility to determine the eligibility of its athletes will subject the school to additional penalties which may include suspension for the amount of days up to length of the school year from the date the charge is substantiated.

2.10.6 If a coach knowingly withholds information or provides false information that causes an athlete to be eligible for interscholastic competition, the coach shall be suspended from coaching in any sport at any DIAA member school for the amount of days up to length of the school year from the date the charge is substantiated.

Based on this than yes you could play a Freshman game on Thursday and a JV game on Monday providing you didn't play more than 1Q the previous Monday JV game. Just cant play more than 1Q the next Freshman game.. Maybe they just bumped him to JV
 
Dude, it’s JV and freshmen football. 80% of teams can’t even field a freshmen team and almost 50% don’t have JV. I understand there is a slight chance that it enhances the kid gets injured but if you noticed the kid then he’s probably a superior 9th grader. Let em be. Hope you never break any rules

I drive 90 on route 1 am I breaking the rules?
 
Bummy's wife, Minnie, is a classic for quarters played in a week. She burned through 5 rolls of quarters at the Dover Downs slot machines in 3 hours. Been married to her 49 years. She just never keeps track of her quarters. She gets on a roll (of quarters) and they are gone in an instant.
