I understand the concerns around the current epidemic of tie string incidents but really how many of us had something of noteworthy happen?

Hmmm. Good point. When I started officiating in 1997, the official who taught our class of newbies told us that he knew of a kid who broke a finger in a tie string loop and sued the ref (along with the school district and opposing player's parents) over it. That certainly made an impression at an admittedly impressionalble time! In retrospect, it does sound like an "urban legend" kind of story and I have not otherwise heard of tie string horrors. Nevertheless, once you join the Tie String Police, there's no going back....
