Both the ASHAA and NFHS have instituted a 10-goal differential rule during AHSAA matches.
A 10-goal differential will be used in all regular season, section, sub-state and state tournament matches. A match shall be ended anytime after the end of the first half when one team has gained the 10-goal differential.
What happens when a team scores 11 or more goal differential during 1st half?
You start the 2nd half, and then immediately blow for the end of the game.
So when a team marks a 10th goal differential fifteen minutes in the 2nd half, you end the game after the goal?
Yes.
Differential is the key word here. A losing team can have 2 goals… so the winning team must score 12 goals in order for the rule to be activated and the game to be finished.
