Illinois adopts mercy rule for high school basketball
June 12, 2018 / Basketball
Illinois will implement a mercy rule for high school basketball regular season games beginning with the 2018-19 season.
The Illinois High School Association’s (IHSA) Board of Directors approved the change earlier this month. The new rule will start a running clock during the fourth quarter any time there’s a 30-point differential between the two teams. Illinois uses a similar rule for high school football.
The mercy rule applies only to regular season and regular season tournament games. It will not be in play during the state tournament.
