Unfortunately, haven't heard yet. Hopefully soon though.

Fortunately however, we have started our on-floor training and evaluations as we have some V Fall Leagues ongoing that will continue right up until official scrimmages start.

Had one meeting yesterday and won't have another meeting for another association until end of October and then one at the beginning of November. Until then it is back to hitting the rule book and waiting for the new books and equiptment to get here.

Peace

As was discussed, here in VA we have moved to a predominantly on-line rules clinic for the first time this yr. here are my thoughts (FWTW):

- Obviously, at home, it was a much shorter drive and definitely a time-saver as I usually got home late.
- I did miss the interaction with other officials and the ability to buy supplies.
- 112 slides? Really?
- I liked the usual player/coach ejection slide(s). Numbers were up last yr.
- Usual uniform slides......mascot location? Shoot me!
- Many, many slides emphasizing "concussions." As is being discussed a bit in BillyMac's thread. I liked the part where our narration said - Officials are not responsible for checking players re-entering the game. If the player is at the table later after we send them off for concussion-like symptoms, we are to "assume" the coach and medical staff have cleared them.
- I missed Joyce's humor and the Q&A.


Happily, the table crew was only mentioned once (to my recollection).

Other thoughts?

I went to the live clinic in Mechanicsville, and our local board held our first meeting after that. Yes, she hit the increase in ejections hard. Also, the most questions dealt with the concussion issue. She said that the VHSL would support the game officials and their decision concerning any player that is sent off with concussion-like symptoms.

Last year, our Oct meeting was held immediately following the rules clinic. This year since the clinics are going online except for remaining 3, it's anyone's guess as to what our leadership will do. We haven't been informed. I'm assuming that your officers are debating similar issues as are mine.

I’m not in the inner sanctum to know how debates or discussions are going in my Association…..they’ve probably got a plan, I’m just not privy to it.
