NEW Lacrosse Rules and Officiating Forum Guidelines!
Posted: Tue Sep 27, 2005 8:10 amLacrosse Rules and Officiating Forum Guidelines
In order to maintain the decorum of this forum, please observe the stated CollegeLAX message board rules and these guidelines when posting in the Lacrosse Rules and Officiating Forum:
1. No references to actual teams, players or officials – If you have a game situation you would like to discuss, please phrase it as Team A and Team B, or A1 checked B2, etc. No specific references to MCLA teams, MCLA players, MCLA coaches, or MCLA Referees will be allowed!
2. No disparaging comments on officials, assignors, and/or conference administrators – While you have the right to disagree with a call, this forum is not the place to question the competence or judgment of the officials. MCLA head coaches have the ability to rate the game officials (or provide appropriate feedback) through their respective MCLA conference and/or their conference assigning authority
3. Interpretations will refer to specific rules in the NCAA or NFHS rulebook. Please cite rule numbers and/or page numbers from the appropriate rulebook when posing a question. Without the benefit of seeing your game or having input from the official(s) who made an individual call, it is impossible to render opinions on judgment calls. We will try to establish if a ruling followed proper interpretation, if possible.
4. Any posts that fail to follow these guidelines will be edited or removed at the sole discretion of the moderators or site admins. These guidelines are also subject to change at any time.
We hope to provide a forum where you can receive answers to your rules questions and increase your lacrosse rules knowledge. There are several experienced officials that are happy to lend their input to this forum. We hope you will take advantage of this learning opportunity this season!
