Contact Lens
After a game on Tuesday, I got together with some other refs of my chapter and the subject came up: What if A1 loses a contact lens during the game but there is no notation in the scorebook for A1 having a contact lens. Do you issue a "T"?
My answer was to use common sense to determine if the situation was real or a ploy by the coach. Others said it would be a "T" and that it is in the rule book. I went home and have looked through the rule book and cannot find any references to Contact Lens and stopping a game to find a lost one or that players who wear them should be noted in the scorebook. If anyone knows of any references about a contact lens in the rule or case book, please let me know. |
I tried to do a search for the meaning of the acronym of O O O, but I couldn't find it. Can somebody please tell me what that means, I know it's overly something official, but i can't remember what the second O means.
THanks, |

And... must they be soft lenses or can the old fashioned hard lenses be used? |

Doesn't apply here, though. YGTBSM seems to work, though, as does VI. |

Veeeery Interesting... http://pentaclerecords.net/darien3/artie_johnson2.jpg ...BUT SCHTUPID! |
I take it from these responses that contact lenses are not mentioned anywhere - I could not find it. These refs were saying it is a delay of game technical to search for a lens if the player was not marked in the book as having them - like an unauthorized time out.

And if that's the case, what good does said notation do? Stupid. |

The other night I was over at the table going over the books when the official scorer asks me if I want him to put a mark next to each players name that wears contacts. Since I have this "what in the he11 are you even talking about" look on my face, he gives me the logic. Says the last couple of refs have asked him to make this notation. :eek: |
