The Big Rule Change

[bainsey]

I like our instruction: "If they're not wearing stripes, don't deal with it."

NCHSAA, "We couldn't care less whether they wear them or not."

I wore the stripes for a varsity girls tourney out here last week.Then went to do stats for our JV team at a tourney over the weekend.three courts-none of the courts had the official scorer wearing the stripes.

They are taking it seriously in Texas - at least for varsity games. If the scorer isn't wearing stripes, we're supposed to report the school to the state governing body. However, our assigner wants us to notify him first and let him handle it. So far every school I've worked has complied. The ladies have come up with creative fashion statements, but as long as they are wearing stripes, all is well.

I have had every varsity scorer in stripes so far after two weeks of games.

Same here in Montana. In addition to reporting it to the state, we've been instructed to find the AD after the game and subject him/her to a flogging in full view of the remaining crowd.

So far, I've seen about 75% compliance. The only problem we have is that we wear grey pinstripes for HS games...thus some of the scorekeepers are now wearing grey pinstripes, which are not nearly as visible (which was kinda the point of zebra stripes). I asked one scorekeeper where she got her shirt..."An official from your association donated it". Sometimes we are our own worst enemy.

Nine games in and every scorer wore stripes. One game both timer and scorer wore stripes.
