It is not about being right, it is about what happened. That happened and I remember it because I was an official. Was not trying to debate, you were. I was just stating what I remembered and folks like you always have to challenge what people know or remember to be right.

Now back to my camp games.

Pretty difficult to debate a fact.

Facts are often binary. It's an apple, not an orange. Five times three equals fifteen, not sixteen.

You remembered correctly and you were right.

I, and at least one other Forum member, remembered incorrectly, and we were wrong.

It was easy to get closure on the sock issue (where there's a will, there's a way), about ten minutes of research through some old rulebooks.

That's the best part about this Forum, if there's a fact (citation, rule, interpretation, etc.) out there, it will eventually see the light of day.

Someone will remember something, the issue will be researched, and the truth will lay bare.

Unfortunately, it's not always that easy.

Sometimes the NFHS complicates the issue by using imprecise, incomplete, contradictory, or untimely language, that's when we have debates, often with no closure.

Then, of course, there are local differences in the way we do things.

Different isn't always better, or worse, sometimes it's just different.
