I'll be honest; I don't even look for illegal uniforms or numbers at the jv level and below. Jewelry, t-shirts, wrist bands, and head bands are fair game at any level I work.

I just don't agree. A veteran should be an example and show the new guys what right should look like. It should matter what level.

If we are not enforcing the uniform rules, what other rules should we ignore at the sub-varsity level?


Mr. Rutledge,

I do agree.

While I would agree with you for the most part on this, what would you do if the league's local rules clearly state teams cannot wear illegal numbers? One of the leagues I'm involved in has this rule, and I've yet to see it enforced when it occurs. :rolleyes: :mad:

If you read what I said earlier and not picked out only one sentence that would be obvious what I would do.

Who gave me the game? Who has the jurisdiction over the game?

If this is a middle school game and they say enforce a rule to the letter I will enforce it. If I am working a high school game and my state association says that certain rules are not to be applied to the varsity level, I think I am going with them. If the league assignor has me working a freshman game and they want everyone to enforce a NF rule about uniforms, I am doing that. I just do not work for local official's associations and they do not decide what we do in any league.

Peace
