There was no next game - Championship bracket, they lost - (IE - they're going home).

EJ wouldn't carry over to the next tourney for hiim to sit out the "next" game.

Darien,

Are you sure?

Cuz when I dumped an AC who thought he was entitled to a "free shot" after his team had just been eliminated from a USSSA tourney last summer as my partner and I were leaving the field, he was, in fact, required by (the same) TD to "sit out" the first game of the next U-Trip tourney his team was playing in a couple of weeks later.

I understand he was quite "surprised". He also looked kinda' surprised when I showed up to call one of their early round games a couple of games later. Didn't hear "Jack" out of him the whole game. Go figure.

Always do your job.

Whether he has to sit out a game or not, I'd have dumped him anyway. I'd have written the report and made sure it got sent to my assignor and HIS superiors. Word gets around, and if he thought he could get a "free shot" with no followup, he would have been mistaken. Plus, I'd have felt better.
