Question Number: 29615

League Specific 8/18/2015

RE: high school High School

Dan Cole of Forest Hill, MD - Maryland United States asks...

When bench personnel are cautioned/disqualified, are substitutes allowed to enter the game?

Answer provided by Referee Joe Manjone

Dan,
Yes, this is a new rule in the 2015-16 NFHS Rules Book: (3-3-3(e)
Since the clock is stopped when bench personnel are cautioned or disqualified, substitutes from both teams who have already reported may be beckoned by the referee and may enter the field of play. Previously, there was no provision for substitutions to enter during this type of stoppage.

Please note that the substitutes must have reported before the stoppage for the caution/disqualification occurred.

I hope that you have a successful season
