Re:
I would first refer the incident to the school administrator at the site for a ruling. As an official, we do not have anything to do with eligibility issues other than if an individual is attempting to participate in an illegal uniform, jewelry, or after being Disqualified.
The question is who has jurisdiction over participation of the players - is it the school, theleague, the section, or the state? Our function as an official is to intepret the Rules of the game. We allow others in the sports' governing body to determine who is allowed to participate.
