I have read where there is a 30 point mercy rule in Pop Warner Flag Football. Also, where an 18 point rule was implemented in the 70s that stated once a team was up by 18+ points they had to change their starting backfield. I cannot say I am well versed with Pop Warner football but I would think there is a Mercy Rule somewhere in their rules. Whether it is a hard and fast rule or may be amended by each local chapter I cannot say.

The "mercy rule" is only used in some leagues. There is no mercy rule in the MLB. My local Little League had a rule that if one team was up by more than 10 after the 4th inning, the game would be over and the team with the lead wins. ---------- 15 after 3 innings, 10 after 4 innings, and 8 after 5 innings is also a commonly used "mercy rule" in some leagues.
