A previous rule stated that teams could only get bonus points if they defeated a team from the same or higher designation.

If a team reaches a 42-point margin by the third quarter, then a rolling clock automatically begins. WCHS notes that “The fourth quarter margin of 35 points remains the same.” Both rules will be in place for this upcoming fall season.
