I believe that each school recieves a rule book from the PIAA each season and goes back to high school coachs wanting to use the NFL rulebook. Read the book each year.
What a stupid rule. It SHOULD absolutely be an automatic 1st.

Our head coach and staff knew the rule...it is a change after nearly 30 years and was the first time it had an affect on us in 2013. We didn't use the NFL rule book. We just thought of the PIAA rule that has been around for as long as anyone can remember.
