Re: Discrepancy at Chesapeake, Israel, Waterloo?
The point that should be made is that if there was a problem on the field, volunteers or not, it should be addressed. One example is allowing a rematch.
In Portland, if there was a problem, it was addressed, even though it delayed the scheduled matches. The quarterfinals ended at 5:20pm. In San Jose, there was no rematches. In fact, the regional including awards ceremony ended at 5pm. I'd take the former, so that every team has a chance to compete fairly.
This is an expensive event. If the regional only has 7 matches, you can do the math and figure that it amounts to almost $860 per match. The point is to inspire kids both professionally and gracefully. I hate the fact that the thread is turning into a "volunteer" issue again, like in previous years and that we should just suck it up if a problem occurs.
Let's have the attitude to explore issues/problems and fix them collaboratively.
