Question: Does a Team Take the Free Clear via the Mercy Rule in an A Bracket?
It appears on the Looney site on Maryland Forum there is quite the raging debate. Brotherly Love 2024 was thumping Looneys 2024 and Looneys took the free clear multiple times, still lost the game, but then ended up winning the whole 2024 bracket because Brotherly Love got upset in the semis by Roughriders. My son plays for Mesa and we lost to BL 13-0 and never took the free clear. Which Team is playing with honor and integrity.
Just don't play in tourneys that have stupid rules.
What tourneys play that rule??? That is beyond dumb! It's fine for spring youth leagues, but makes no sense when GA or GD are typical tie breakers for tourney pool play.
