Again, these are Freshman/JV games. Is this a common approach? What are the philosophical issues here? "Travel in the first period is a travel in the fourth period" takes a backseat to letting the kids play.

Thoughts?
Just call the game and quit trying to force your own personal ideas of the way that things ought to be onto the participants.

There is nowayinhell a first year official should even be thinking about things like this.
