	Slaughter rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A slaughter rule, also well known by the slightly more polite term mercy rule or less commonly, knockout rule, brings a sports event to an early end when one team has a very large and presumably insurmountable lead over the other team.
		Slaughter rules are most common in games such as baseball or softball, where there is no game clock and play could theoretically continue forever, although it is also used in sports such as Hockey, football, and soccer.
		The rules vary widely, depending on the level of competition, but nearly all youth leagues and high school sports associations, and many college sports associations have slaughter rules for sports including baseball, softball, football (although not college) and soccer.

	Commercial Transportation of Equines to Slaughter; Final Rule
		In addition, the regulations prohibit the commercial transportation to slaughtering facilities of equines considered to be unfit for travel, the use of electric prods on equines in commercial transportation to slaughter, and, after 5 years, the use of double-deck trailers for commercial transportation of equines to slaughtering facilities.
		Under this final rule, if an owner/shipper arrives at a slaughtering facility outside of the facility's normal business hours, the owner/shipper may leave the premises but must return to the premises of the slaughtering facility to meet the USDA representative upon his or her arrival.
		Slaughtering Facility We proposed to define slaughtering facility as ``A commercial establishment that slaughters equines for any purpose.'' Many commenters objected that the definition of slaughtering facility excludes facilities that were specifically intended by Congress to be covered by the regulations (i.e., assembly points, feedlots, and stockyards).

	OFFOFFOFF film review THE SLAUGHTER RULE movie about Six-man football in Montana by Alex and Andrew Smith with Ryan ...
		"The Slaughter Rule" is a film as hard-hitting as its subject — six-man football in rural Montana.
		Six-man, we city folks may gather from the film, is what the small, remote schools and Indian reservations in the plains states play when they don't have the resources for a full football program, and it appears to be a wide-open game every bit as hard and furious as the 11-man game, maybe more.
		Two lives cross fatefully in "The Slaughter Rule." One is Roy Chutney, a lanky high school quarterback who goes through life with a vacant smirk on his face, even when, at the film's beginning, he's informed of the death — suicide, maybe — of his dad.

		PARK CITY -- Andrew and Alex Smith make an impressive feature debut in writing and directing "The Slaughter Rule," a coming-of-age tale that nicely exploits the ruggedness of rural Montana and the rough-hewn, often tenuous nature of male friendships in those parts.
		"Slaughter" is an old-fashioned story, built on character and psychological insight.
		The Smiths deliver a realistic portrayal of ordinary people and everyday life that touches on relations between whites and Indians, the difficulties of women in such a male-dominated society and, as with "The Shipping News," the effects of a harsh environment on people.
