Why did I take this game?

David M: It was two games. 5th graders played and then a 6th grade game, not combined.

The "Official" Penalty is a warning the first time followed by a bench technical for subsequent violations. But it wasn't uncommon to see officials give out multiple warnings instead. I think one game, the opposing team was warned 4 or 5 times and even our coach was asking when they were going to call the T like they were supposed to.

And for what it's worth, here's our point margin rules:
10 points (6th grade) or 20 points (8th grade) - no press
Up by 20 - Must have three starters out of the game*
Up by 30 - All starters must be out of the game*

* unless there are too few subs to do this or other similar scenarios.
