We (in Georgia) are just required to report the incident to the GHSA. You can't stop the game or make a mockery out of the situation. They will deal with the school.

Would a scorer be considered in compliance if they wear the stripes over a school issued polo shirt? That's what I would do if I was working this year.

The schools are not gonna like this one.
I bought my shirt not to long after the rule changed... only to later register as an official. At least now I'm more than prepared for the rule change.

As for the question about what to do if the home team has no shirt... what if the visiting scorer has one and offers to be official scorer?

That is only likely to happen in the state of Washington

I know most of you snicker at this rule change, but if you've ever had the opportunity to work at a venue with a big long table with lots of personel and media and what not (like state tourney or a college game) it does help with things. I think this rule can only help make our jobs easier, with no downsides.

Having said that, I don't think its something to make an issue over. If your state or association has a policy, (report to game management or state) then that is what should be done. If not then no big deal.

Yes this does make it helpful to see the person as you stated. And it seems to be rather common place in those bigger arenas and games I have worked. Even some smaller schools do this as well. And I think this will be something that we will report with a Special Report to our state if this is not done. But I doubt seriously it is going to be much of an issue or something that we would even care about most of the time.

Peace

When I've worked in a venue with a large table crew, it seems the scorer already wore such a shirt. They followed (or the state suggested they follow) the recommendation of wearing a referee shirt.
