If you read what I said earlier and not picked out only one sentence that would be obvious what I would do.

Who gave me the game? Who has the jurisdiction over the game?

If this is a middle school game and they say enforce a rule to the letter I will enforce it. If I am working a high school game and my state association says that certain rules are not to be applied to the varsity level, I think I am going with them. If the league assignor has me working a freshman game and they want everyone to enforce a NF rule about uniforms, I am doing that. I just do not work for local official's associations and they do not decide what we do in any league.

Peace
