FWIW, I understand host teams entering the tournament -
That doesn't mean that the Head Coach is the TD.

Additionally re:

FWIW: Unfortunately, in my experience (at local tournaments that I've noticed) it has been the TD who has had the final word. He has consulted with the UIC, but the final decision has been the TD's......

I say "tournaments that Ive noticed" because to be honest, I really haven't been in too many situations where there has been a protest.


Seemed wierd to me, but so is life...

If it is a rules interpretation issue, that may happen once..............ONCE! There would not be an opportunity for a second time.
