Really? I understand a team was in Salem last weekend and arrived with shorts that ranged from Coach's to Cargos and challenged the ASA Rep to tell them where it said they had to wear matching uniforms. Even the ASA Rep knew it was in the rule book, duh!

Of course, I also understand this may have been the same team from Indiana who won their D States, but was sent away to the E Nationals!!! Their roster supposed even had "D" as the classification. Their local District Commissioner told the ASA Rep that they allowed this because they (local ASA) was tired of sending teams away and not winning games. The funny thing though was that apparently, the teams which finished behind this team played in the D National in Salem.

And they wonder why some teams get upset about classification
