Same guidance we were given in VA. And T's when each sub reports in for the first time.

Had our rules meeting tonight - official policy in OR is we are to enforce them as written.

For the record, this is coming a few days after the last rules meeting in our state. We were told to apply the rule to the letter and give as many Ts as it took. I suspect they have found that there are schools that are not in a position to comply and have let the official's off the hook. In many ways I am relieved because I am sure there were going to be some schools from some not so well off areas that would claim they did not have the resources to provide legal uniforms. And I can speak from personal experience that this might have been a big problem and I am sure schools were concerned that games would be lost just because of this rule.

In WI - we must report it to the WIAA within 24 hours - do not access a T.
