That is a position that some will agree with while others will frown upon, but you need to do what is best for you.

As I stated, that school and the participants were not subject to NFHS or VHSL authority. You know, like that made for TV high school you see on ESPNU. There are no repercussions if they decide to set aside some equipment rules.

I get it, but I would have still preferred to get an advance heads up from my local, or state interpreter (clinician), or my assignment commissioner. Even without the advance notice, I would have still done the same as BadNewsRef, maybe with an email to my assignment commissioner after the game detailing the odd rule base that we were asked to play under.

Why? What's the point?

I watched my kid play a bunch of youth games with made up rules this weekend. If the game isn't under the jurisdiction of the HS governing body and there's no safety factors involved, who cares?

Because my assignment commissioner wants to know about anything "odd" at the site. No coaching box marked. No black and white jersey for scorer. No head coach at coaches/captains pregame conference. Official wearing wrong board jacket. Ejections, and flagrant fouls (obviously). No showers available. No hot water in showers. No secure changing area.

Prep school games, assigned by our assignment commissioner, are not under the jurisdiction of the Connecticut high school governing body, but he wants us to file an Ejection Report with him even though no state, league, or conference body wants one reported.

I'm pretty sure that he would also want to know if there was any departure from the "usual" rules.
