When my kids played youth football there was a mercy rule, set at 35 points. There is a set of procedures to follow at a 35 point differential which are outlined in the official rulebook. There are punishments that the league can hand down for coaches who violate the rules but that's only done in situations where the coach is obviously being a dick.

Here's a link to the NorCalFed rulebook:
http://www.hostedfootball.net/ncf/20...F_Rulebook.pdf I've never seen it become a problem. I can think of one instance off the top of my head where we scored after we were up by 35 but it was inadvertent. Our Head Coach had to write a letter to the league explaining the situation and it was fine. |

No you put the smallest kids on your team out there in positions they've never played before. If you still keep scoring they aren't going to hold you accountable.

I'm guessing they had some coaches that were some pretty big assholes. I've seen teams up by 45 then still use onside kicks to try and get the ball back. Or call a timeout with 12 seconds left in the game so they could score one more time when they were winning 52-0.

They go to a running clock instead.
