You tell them to supply the names as well.

easier said then done for lower level games sometimes -- the effort is not worth the hassle.

I really don't understand why we need their names. We call everything by number. As far as I'm concerned, all the kids could each be named "Hey You" and it wouldn't make a darn bit of difference. In fact, I don't care if the kids even have names.

As long as the same physical person is wearing the same jersey number from the 1st half to the second, play on.

did some 6th grade cyo games today.... one team had a player, who when each subsequent player got the ball he would clearly call out/repeat that name, I guess calling for the ball. "Jim, Jim, Jim", "Joe, Joe, Joe", "Bill, Bill, Bill" etc. Wait a minute, the only name I never heard was the caller. Oh well, I guess I don't know all the names on that team after all.

You put a name to a number because otherwise, they could switch jerseys and you couldn't prove they didn't.

Why do they need names? So the opponents know who is starting. Otherwise a team could scramble their numbers every game and keep their warmups on until they step out for the jump...basically defeating the purpose of providing lineups and starters 10 minutes before the game.


And, yes, this is a T. They basically added a new name to the book per 10-1-2b. And applied a number that was listed for someone else...perhaps violating 10-1-2e....but that doesn't really matter since there is only one T applied for all elements of Article 2.

What hassle?

"Coach, I see numbers, but to avoid the T, we need to have names as well. I'll give you an extra minute to do that."

At lower levels (which is really the only place this would be an issue), we usually don't hit them at the 10 minute mark anyway.
