The WIAA Board of Control yesterday approved a series of 10 recommendations affecting five fall sports.
During their meeting in Stevens Point Wednesday, one of the recommendations by coaches was to add a fifth division to the Girls Volleyball Tournament series, effective in the fall of 2024.
The proposal still needs final approval by the Advisory Council and Board of Control at its January meeting next year.
Another rule change affects both 8-and-11-player football regular season and tournament series games.
Beginning this fall, a mandatory running clock will be applied when the point differential reaches 35 points in the second quarter of a game.
If a deficit falls below 35 points at any point prior to the start of the fourth quarter, the running clock will be discontinued.
If that differential drops under 35 in the fourth, the clock would be running for the rest of regulation.
