I have been saying this for years in many sports. But some places use these test to simply get a varsity contest. I would rather have the guy that has experience and can handle themselves on the field than a guy that can only get a high score on the FED test. Especially when they ask for measurements of things we will almost never get a ruler to make sure it follows Rulebook standards.
