Pony game (13-14 years old), OBR. I'm BU working for the first time with one of the big dogs of our association.

That's the problem with lots of
big dogs - they simply "don't know the rules."
If you have to work with him again, I would have the rule copied and show it to him - stepping on the rubber is not stepping back of the rubber.
