re: plate gear (ball bags, etc.) as BU.

I was watching a tournament final on Sunday afternoon. It was double elim, and the losers bracket team won the first, so there was an if game. Same crew did both, but swapped duties.

In the second game, the BU (PU first game) took off his plate gear (including the ball bag) except for the chest protector. The PU (BU first game) put on NO plate gear, except for the ball bag. So we had a PU with no gear and a BU wearing a chest protector. Now THAT looked odd.

Indicators as BU? Only those who need something to criticize in order to feel superior (re: small ball board thread) worry about it. If there is anything at all to criticize about the indicator on the field it is looking at it. If you have to look at it to make sure it is correct, you're not paying attention - and that is what you need to work on.
