Thanks Tom...sadly, most of what you said IS a surprise to me and probably a lot of others that coach at lower level travelball or rec ball. I'll just have to get my mind around the concept that the rules aren't really rules, per se, but just sort of a guideline that can sort of followed, or not, depending on how the organizers want their organization or tournament to 'feel'.

So, here's my question (I'm not trying to be confrontational...I just want to understand the process):

At the higher levels of FP are the coaches informed beforehand as to what rules are to be ignored or given 'low priority'? How do you handle a coach that says "sheesh, at the last tournament you guys were callin' that one...how come you're not callin' it now?".

Thanks.

It's 47 and partly cloudy.
