That was my experience as well. I remember all of us (officials too) holding hands in a big circle, hugging after the prayer and you would have thought the devil gave the prayer because nothing done before seemed to matter. I remember more Ts and rough play then any other game I have had. This is the reason I stopped doing all men's leagues in the first place because of leagues similar to these.
