this is a fine tournament, but what good is the website if the scores aren't posted timely. | ||

The committee could do a better job of making sure the officials are aware of the rules. I understand it is difficult to secure enough help during tournaments, however all our kids deserve better then what I'm about to reveal. As they say "the following is a true story". The ref at the Brick/EB G-U13 game at 9:00am Saturday morning admitted that he did not know the special tournament rules, "because no body told me". I find this amazing, for someone that is officiating at a tournament. He should'nt licensed to officiate at all, let alone be permitted to work a tournament. If I, as a coach, can go to the effort to make sure all my players understand the rules, I would think that the tournament committee would do the same with its officials. The specific rule in question refers to the special allowance granted to girls to protect themselves by placing their arms in front of their chests, as long as there is no effort made to direct or divert the ball. This ref did not know this and when I brought it to his attention AFTER the game he gave me the above response. Then he told me, in front of a parent, that he was "going to pass the word along" about me and my team. This is just incredible behavior on the part of an official and I feel that an apology on the part of the committee is due myself, my team, the Brick team and any other teams that had to put up with this incompetent individual. In terms of the game itself, I felt that despite this distraction, that our team was given a fantastic opportunity to play a great team and we look forward to meeting Brick again in the future. I hope Brick feels the same! I know they did about the official. |
