One thing for sure it needs to be mandatory 4 man crew. I would honestly like 5 but 3 man crews are just not going to work.

Gate split: Now I have no issue with the cost of the officials being taken off the top of the gates. The cost of paint though is not that big of a deal. I say that assuming a school does not pay someone to come in to paint it. To me that is like asking to pay for the electricity for the lights.

The away team has the travel cost to deal with. I venture to say the travel cost is more than the cost of painting the field. I know last year we brought as many fans to the game as the host site had.

I am sure many of us are taking notes on how to make this better. I hope more people are at the meeting next year.

One thing I had an issue with last year was the holdback issue which is much more common in some areas than others. When I have a coach just flat out say all his 7th grades are going to repeat the 7th grade. Our 8th grade team could have played as a 7th grade team the past 2 players due to age. What I mean by that is we had 2 players that were 14 before Aug 1st.
