It certainly improved over the season, but a lot of people weren't familiar with the rules. Often field-reset wouldn't know who to hand the ball to, what to do in the event of a full-field score, or a ball being scored in the wrong goal, etc. If field-reset continues to have such a large impact on game-play, I might suggest we expand age restrictions to 16+ in that role too.
For this year, ABSOLUTELY. I'm just speaking generally.

School requirement, as I understand from our teacher/advisor. Both because of our group size and the distance from the school. X chaperones on the trip for Y number of students, and so on. We also have to bump-up to the 'nice' (read: expensive) buses instead of yellow school buses once you're over 45min away. Believe me, if we didn't have to, we wouldn't. But it's still kind of frustrating that we would have to ask our team parents to drive over an hour for every single event when we used to drive ~15 min for the regional. We're just the unlucky ones on the map, I suppose.
