Question Number: 12788League Specific 5/13/2006RE: High School Varsity High School Brad Harman of Columbia, SC USA asks...At the start of the match an announcement was made that the official time was going to be kept on the scoreboard clock. Now the question. In the second 10 minute overtime period of a South Carolina High School Varsity match player A1 takes a high shot on goal from about 30-35 yards out. The stadium clock had about 8 or 9 seconds remaining. Keeper B1 miss plays that shot and it goes behind her where A2 puts the ball into the back of the net. If there was any time left on the clock before A2 strikes the ball but the ball does not cross the goal line before time is expired, does the goal count?
Thanks I am looking forward to your reply. Answer provided by Referee Chuck Fleischer Brad, time kept on a stadium clock is peculiar to American high school and NCAA rules. If time expires the match ends even if the ball is in flight toward goals. The score keeper is supposed to count down the last ten seconds as well.
Regards,

View Referee Chuck Fleischer profileAnswer provided by Referee Nathan Lacy Ref Fleischer's use of the word "peculiar" is very appropriate here. In this case, if time expires and the ball has not totally crossed the goal line - even if in flight - then there is no goal. This approach caused quite a bit of consternation in the MLS early on and was subsequently changed to the ref keeping the offical time. All the best,
