The state board of officials does not have the backing of rank-and-file members.
The state board told its members to enroll individually, but not to stay for the handshake. Here's the exact email I got from the state board secretary:

At the emergency meeting held in Milford tonight, the delegates present voted to support to following message be promptly delivered to all IAABO members:


"The MSBOA voted unanimously at its November 25, 2007 meeting that its members will not remain to observe the post game handshake. This position has not changed. As regards to the state tournament, individual members may choose to enroll with the MIAA."
I don't like it, personally, because it's going to create problems in areas where the local board has taken a harder position -- no enrollment at all, for example.
