(4)

(5)
So the overall expenses of conducting the contest may be evenly shared, the following ex
pense formula must be used in all rounds prior to the state championship:
(i)
For playoff contests where the distance between competing schools is 100 miles or
less, the visiting school is responsible for its own transportation and meals. The
host school will provide the playing facility and game balls at no charge. All game-
related expenses, including officials’ fees, are to be split between host and visiting
schools and the NCHSAA.
(ii)
When the distance between schools exceeds 100 miles (one way), the same cost-shar
ing arrangement applies with one exception: The cost of game officials only will be
split between the NCHSAA and the host school.
(iii)
All concession rights are retained by the host school.
(m)
Pep Bands, Banners, Placards, and Signs - Pep bands of participating schools are not permitted for
playoffs. Note that banners, placards and signs are prohibited.
(n)
Regional Awards - Team plaques will be presented to the regional champion and regional runner-up.
(o)
Game Ball: In playoff contests in which the NCHSAA provides complimentary adopted game balls,
that model of game ball must be used for the playoff contest. Noncompliance is subject to 3.3.6(a)(5).
