GHSA Mercy Rule
National Federation Mercy Rule
- If a Team is 7 or More Goals Down at the Midpoint of the first half (20
or Less Minutes Played), the half will end and the Second Half will be 20
Minutes.
- If a Team is 7 or More Goals down at Halftime, the second half will be 20
Minutes in Length.
- If a team is 10 or More Goals Down in the Second Half, the game will be
Terminated.
Here are the decision points considering it is a HS Varsity
match:
- If you have achieved the 7-goal differential at the 20-minute mark of
the first half, the half will end. The second half will be 20 minutes in length
unless a 10-goal differential is attained and then the games ends.
- If you have achieved the 7-goal differential at the end of the first
half, the second half will be 20 minutes in length unless a 10-goal
differential is attained and then the games ends.
- If the goal differential goes below 7 during the second half, that
half is still 20 minutes
- If you attain a 10-goal differential in the 2nd half, the game ends
immediately
