What it boils down to for me and my partner is whether we asked the coaches in pregame if their players were legal/proper and if we, as a crew, were observant. If the answer to both are 'yes', then we know w/o a shadow of a doubt that we managed the game correctly and there will be no heat coming our way from the schools' AD or my assignor because we used correct protocol.

I understand doing what's required, I just don't get any practical benefits from it. If i let an earring through and someone gets hurt, I don't see how having asked about equipment before the game gets me off of this. Either my assigner would hold me accountable for missing it, or he wouldn't. Personally, I don't think he would anyway.
"I asked the coaches if their players were properly and legally equipped."
"And do you think he gave you a thoughful answer?"
"Not really."
Could just be me, though.
Who knows, maybe that's why they do it in my area; I only do it because I'm not going to be "that guy." The only thing I don't do that others do around here is ask for speaking captains
