Concussion like symptoms in an AAU game

[OrStBballRef]

For the big one I did last week the girls were allowed to wear earrings (taped over)and the assigner stated the tournament had assumed any liability associated with that particular risk.

I'm assuming the tournament has insurance for this type of scenario if they went back in. I would assume AAU has coaches and tournaments who are more exposed to liability than a ref.

What you did was fine and supported by rules, but I wouldn't be surprised in an AAU setting the coaches could have put him/her back in and a ref might not have been able to stop it. I would have done the same as you did, but if I was overridden I would have made a note of it on the score sheet or note to assigner etc...just in case issues were raised down the line.

AAU is a different animal when compared to a HS game under NFHS and sanctioned by a state association.
