Question Number: 16920Law 3 - Number of Players 9/26/2007RE: High School Ryan Wimmer of Charlevoix, Michigan USA asks...This question is a follow up to question 16873 I understand that the referee can add time if the substitution is frequent or taking a long time. I cannot find anything that says that can add time because the ref thinks we are stalling. Shouldn't he just give a warning first. In this instance he just figured we were taking to long in general. Did not say anything in particular. Answer provided by Referee Keith Contarino I don't think a referee CAN add time in High School but we can in the rest of the world. Law 5 gives the referee the authority to be the timekeeper of the match. Law 7 lists the reasons to add time and the last is "for any other cause." So the referee has leeway

View Referee Chuck Fleischer profileAnswer provided by Referee Ben Mueller The referee can add time for all time lost. In NFHS though, then the clock timer stops the clock upon receiving the signal from the referee. Once time has expired, then the match is over. The referee can certainly stop the clock and caution a player for stalling in high school matches.
