Legally Equipped? Why Do We Ask?

Now that's when I expect security/crowd control to step in and wrestle this offender to the ground. At this point an inspection for illegal hair pins can also be performed on this person, just in case.

...You are a Table Official. Numerous posters on this board have told you you are not a game official (referee/umpire) who wears a striped shirt, whistle, and lanyard. You are a table official (scorer or timer.) Kingsman1288strongly suggested that you read/study/adhere to rule 2-11 and 2-12. Those rules detail your duties and responsibilities. You are not a game official until you are able to take a rules test, pass a floor test, and start running up and down a gym floor. Let the people who have studied the rules, passed the tests, and know how to apply the rules by reffing many games do the officiating. The guys in the stripes with the whistles have their jobs to do and you have your jobs to do as the scorer, timer, crowd control person, etc. Concentrate on you jobs.

Personally I think that the dedicated table officials like chseagles should be issued tasers. It can be used at his own discretion on players with illegal equipment, officials who won't follow his direction, etc.

His discretion? I'm staying on the east coast!

As for "the Eagle" for me, the ROCK said it best......"Know your role, and shut your mouth!"

I'd only use the taser against unruly hot mommas. I wouldn't be mean enough to use it against floor officials, maybe just against coaches trying to tell me how to run things when they have their own team to run.

Based on the many references to crowd control, I'm assuming eagle has his own personal taser, probably with his initials on it.

Ironically I've never been licensed as an unarmed security officer, although I have had basically the full training.

I've never even held a taser or used one.

They're actually quite reasonable. I suggest ebay.

Why is that ironic?

Plus a notch for every single official that disobeyed him.
