This is incorrect.The rule for OT for JV games has not changed in years....
The Varsity game MUST start on time, whatever time that is. If the JV match is tied at the end of regulation, the officials will determine if the Varsity match can start on time or not. Note..this is not warmup, captain meeting, and coin toss.
Meaning the kickoff must start on time. The rules also state that a coin toss shall happen no later than 5 minutes before the start of a match.
So if you have a 5:30/7:00 pm match, if the JV is tied at 6:45 or later the match is over, anything before that (ie 6:30-6:45) is cutting it close. The referees also may also elect not to do the kicks from the mark if that would put the start time over as well.
This is what I've been told. Regardless of anything, the varsity game is top priority & must start on time. If JV can't fit OT or Pks then the game ends in a tie.
