Face coverings may also be removed while eating or drinking but must be immediately replaced.
Additional:
Due to players wearing masks during contests, a media time-out will be taken each quarter at the first dead ball after the 3-minute mark to give players an opportunity to catch their breath. This should be treated like a 90-second media timeout with the first warning at 75 seconds.
Games will begin with a jump ball.
Pre- and post-game handshakes shall be agreed upon by competing schools in the pregame conference.
Schools may determine, based on district policy, to require social distancing on benches.
