I don't understand why we'd go to a coin toss, but at least it would make the inane "who's the speaking captain" that so many ask at least somewhat meaningful.

Scorers shirt--yes

First set
1,2,4

New Rules
3,5,6 or 7,8,10,12

Mechanics
We do both of these already in our state. Long switches are bad. Also nothing worse than one guy going up with held ball and another going up with a closed fist. If you go up with open hand, much easier to handle.

GA actually did this - the coin toss - in the late '90s. If we didn't have a coin we did "fingers behind the back, one or two." It didn't last long. Maybe a season or two.

Agreed. It drives me nuts, especially because I work with NFHS and NCAA rules at the H.S. level, let alone college. Players in my BV games can wear long sleeves but in my GV games they need a medical waiver...it doesn't make sense.
