And if you do not care or enforce these rules here, you might not be working much of those at all.

In WI this is not the referee's responsibility.

It's not a referee's responsibility to enforce a rule that's in the book?

We notify the state and the state takes up the issue with that school. I have not heard about this being an issue in WI.

Gotcha. You made it sound like WI referees didn't care about or are supposed to ignore the uniform rule.

I am guessing most officials can't tell you if the uniforms legal or illegal.

So, you do care. Otherwise why the requirement to report it to the state office?

And in VA a black lanyard or "smitty" is listed as part of the official uniform for the state tournament. Now, I have no idea what effect on an official's state tourney career not having a lanyard would have.

Okay...I care enough to send off an email!

Can you elaborate on this a bit?

The question specifically refers to these school uniforms not complying with specific rules guidelines, where, in the past there have been severe penalties or refs have chosen to look the other way - hence a discussion has ensued.

What does that have to do with lanyards and referee dress codes, probably established locally?

One is a school issue taken up with the state and doesn't fall under our jurisdiction in WI. Wearing a lanyard is not a rule...but a requirement in the manual...and if you worked without a lanyard properly I wouldn't have an issue at all.

This is why I think this comparison is faulty. We do a lot of things that are never going to be in any manual, but if you want to work you will do them.
