Captains meeting
Is there an NCAA or NFHS rule or any written instruction/requirement any place in the world that requires the Ref to ask for a spokesperson at the meeting with the captains? If so, please indicate the location. Thanks!

Well first of all there isn't a requirement by the fed for a meeting at all that I'm aware of, this is usually a state requirement (or equivalent local jurisdiction). The closest thing we have 2-4-5. But since we usually do have a meeting with "captains" and coaches, take a look at 3-1-1 and 3-1-2, how would you know who unless you asked?
To that end, what's your point? If you feel like its a waste and don't want to do it because it's not mandatory, then don't worry about. |

And, while I'll listen to anyone who is polite, if I need to go to someone, I'll go to the captain if s/he is on the floor. I can't do either of those things if I don't get a number (more accurately -- getting a number makes it far easier to do both of those things). |

I also mark those numbers in the official book. So when I need to talk to them I know who they are and have some record I asked who they are. It is not a big deal, but the rules do have things in place were we ask the captains things in different parts of the game.
Peace

Here's what I say to the players at the meeting- I need speaking Captains - they answer, "If your players or coaches have any problems, they come to you, you come to us, it rarely ever happens, we want to encourage good sportsmanship, any questions?" Short and sweet and I don't have to remember spokesman or spokes"person". Why not spokeswoman? |

If you find it overly politically correct to recognize that a girl isn't a man, you must have a hard time with daily life. Even I stopped calling it 3-man a few years ago after saying I'd never do it -- I realized it's a small thing that really doesn't hurt anyone. Maybe it's because I have a daughter (although I like to think it's because I stopped dragging my knuckles on the ground). (BTW, it's nothing to remember. It's not hard to recognize whether the players are girls or boys, is it?) |

When you only work games with one gender you do not have to worry about trying to say the gender neutral thing. So I can stick to "speaking captain." Not that I ever really thought about it until now.

Once I find out the speaking captain, I shoo the rest away, the don't belong there (tongue in cheek of course). |

And I do ask the (singular) captain if we're ready to start play (while U1/U is checking with the head coaches and table). |

That is why we ask for a speaking Captain. Captain is not a sexual term, so, in my little world, there is no need to change it. JMO. Life for me is just fine, I work a lot of 3 man games. |

At some point I'll decide I'm happy with fewer games and will make the switch. At 34 games already this season, I'm wondering if I should cut back a bit next season. If this was my only sport, I'd work every night of the week, but with football and baseball and a family something's going to have to give eventually. |
