The guy who yelled our clear is mentally impaired and is in the special ed program. We can't quite "exclude" people so he's part of us, but it's hard dealing with having a safe season and excluding people who can not be safe. We have those "liability" forms for the school but they won't save anyone's fingers or hands.
Oh what I love even more is how "No!" sounds very close to "Go!". We've already experienced a problem with that.

I think the formal testing terms are now "Red light", "green light". ;D
