So, how would you rank the Elevate events from this weekend (in order of bad to worse). I am stuck, help me out!

1) All the losses to the YJ Teams
2) Director getting 2 yellow cards
3) The new amazing ILLIGEAL uniforms the parents paid for

This is easy. Number one (losing to YJ is expected), number two has a very high probability based on past experience, number three is by far the worst as it would involve the incompetence of sooooo many people. The club designing them, the store they are working with and the manufacturer, all who should know the rules. So from bad to worse (1,2,3). Typical Elevate weekend. I guess the question is, what do you do about the uniforms now? [/quote]


So what's the story with the uniforms? [/quote]

There is no story. One ref made an incorrect ruling and gave the opponent on the draw. YJ teams played one TE Long Island team and 2 New England teams. [/quote]

US lacrosse has very specific rules about jerseys, colors, patterns, backgrounds, number sizes, location etc. Elevate wouldn't be the first LI club to botch this. TGs the year they won U15 nationals had to pin magic marker, paper plate numbers on their jerseys. Why do you say ref made incorrect ruling? [/quote]

Let me ask a question - not jokingly or pointing fingers. If you own a company, don't you know all the rules and regs, especially as something as basic as jerseys? So wouldn't the club, vendor, manufacturer know what a jersey should look like?[/quote]

My daughter was there. Ref made incorrect rule and the tournament I believe was notified. There is a rule against INSERTS on jerseys being too big, but we have sublimated uniforms and therefore our jerseys are 100% legal. As for the two yellow cards, they were at my daughters game and one was ridiculous on the refs end - Dave was simply asking a question and the ref freaked out..tournament ended up apologizing on behalf of her. Second YC was against our team because our girl accidentally went on after a 4th YC and it's an automatic card against the coach. Everyone grow up and stop trying to stir the pot. It was an awesome weekend.
