Doing 2 GV games today for a tourney, each game involving one Canadian team. There were numerous times in both games where the coaches were unaware of rule differences and blamed us for not informing them before the game. My partner and I were of the opinion that if a coach brings the team here to play, it's their job to know the rule differences.

For those of you out there who have worked games with teams from another country, how do you handle situations like that?

Thumbs down!

While yes, it is the coaches job to inform their team of rules differences, how hard is it to ask the simple question "Do you have any questions regarding rules differences?"

I've been in your situation before - with US teams coming to Canada to play, and having to use different rules.

To be frank, we see the bigger picture and accomodate the US coaches and help them with the more common differences.

The coaches appreciate it, and it shows that you're a leader. Their experience traveling to a tournament will be far better.

I think you are lazy. Just my 2 cents.
