He actually whined about being in a division that he wasn't competitive in, but it made me wonder if he even bothered to look at the league information in his application packet or attend the mandatory coach's meeting.

After re-reading the posts today, I could concede that maybe if a fan politely posed rule question, I might be inclined to answer (since even now, I personally do try to educate people who don't know a rule or want to know), but if I had the feeling things were going to get ugly fast, I'd be skedaddling out of there ASAP.

Well, that's the problem with some people: explaining one rule in one situation bring up questions about a million other situations. Once you start down that rabbit-hole, there's really no getting out, Alice.
