That was my point.
Point taken. It was following a bunch of posts discussing jr high. Hence my confusion. Inadvertent whistle.

I would never communicate this to a high school varsity player, probably not to a high school junior varsity player, not sure about a high school freshman player.

No, this teachable moment that was missed imo.

Point taken. But what will be remembered best by a kid: A whistle and a violation, followed by short explanation, or just the short explanation alone? I chose the former this time, next time, I might chose the later.

Sorry to bring this thread back alive; however, I can't find the NCAA-M reference to this situation.

My schedule recently showed a G and B Varsity double header at on of the local religious schools (i.e. - 9th grade). I don't mind doing them as the school is not a long drive, has good facilities, the people are nice and ball isn't too bad. But, varsity?

About an hr after I accepted in Arbiter, I received an email that I was switched to a "real varsity" game down the road.

Varsity: The principal team representing a university, college, or school in sports, games, or other competitions.

Hey. Noah Webster used to live right down the street from me. In regard to definitions, I'm siding with him. He's what you call an expert.

This is like the endline vs. baseline debate. There is a difference between the technically correct usage and the commonly understood.

Exactly. To me, it's like saying the kids are graduating from 5th grade. Technically, I suppose they're graduating. But really?
