Folks thisnis SPORTS. Not a CRT classroom. I’m sports, particularly when Refs insert themselves into the outcome of the game, fans are vocal on plays. I don’t agree with fans / parents being stunads, but come on….

I am not sure how they are going to prove what team the parent is on. In this case I will go to the teams I don't like and act like an butt on the sidelines so said team gets penalties. Doesn't sound like a good rule.

Actually a rule like this would work pretty well, because it incentivizes and justifies the parents to police themselves. A fake parent pretending to be a butt will be obvious to the real parents of the team he is "supporting" and they would ask him with before the officials got involved. But when real parents are acting that way, a rule like this gives the perfect cover for parents to rein them in, as in "c'mon, we don't need another ridiculous penalty like the one we got last week."

Let the coaches engage with the refs as much as they want. Refs need to toughen up. The best refs love to jaw with the coaches and the players.

According to the "GHCLC Important Dates" document -

"Division Alignment ▪ Will take place during month of February o Schedule Release ▪ League Schedule Release Tentative Date: Wednesday, March 1st"

I don't get why they would make those claims when they know there is no way they are releasing any sort of schedule (partial or full) before March 18th. This is our sixth season and it has always been like this. We have come to expect it by now.

Initial alignments have been out for a couple weeks.
Maybe HoCo is trying to get things out on time this year?

I'm one to pounce on the ineptitude of government AND I detest the last minute schedule with the HoCo league.

That said, let's remember that this a government run league that is hands down the best BOYS club league in the country, from the facilities to the (overall) bracketing of competition tiers. Yes there are some well run box lax leagues too.

Some easy things they could fix:
1) Fix the archaic roster challenge policy. No problem with the $50 fee, and in fact, just make it $100, digital payment instead of cash, and have an outside referee contractor handle it instead of putting a 48 hour limit on challenges, in person, at HoCo, when in fact the actual HoCo rep may be on vacation that week (which has happened).

2) Go ahead and schedule the dang playoff games so everyone can put them on our calendars instead of "Oh yeah, playoff game 800pm tomorrow, hope the entire roster is free on a friday night."

They should hire moms to run the league. The schedule would be out well in advance.

The real reason schedules are delivered at the last minute for the season is to eliminate the gamesmanship all of these coaches try in terms of ducking certain squads or targeting others to avoid Ls or pick up easy Ws.

If you receive more than your first game a week before the season starts, it will be the first time in 10 years that has happened. It's because coaches are given a prelim schedule, they complain for changes, which upends everything and causes a delayed release. Was a coach for many years. Happens year after year. Some coaches are never happy with the first schedule they are given and argue for changes, and the league folds to angry coaches instead of standing their ground.

The coaches and clubs are the reason things come out so late. From being insulted at not being Elite, or saying we are terrible and should be in the lowest bracket (just to sandbag wins) there is a lot going on.

Lots of complaints about brackets, asks for special accommodations on certain weekends, refusal to play certain teams week 1 yadda yadda.

It’s a lot. And overall they do a better job than anyone else.

Two tournaments next weekend should move a few teams around depending on the outcomes.

Not quite. Still letting teams make their own bye weeks and delaying complete schedules for everyone else.

Ok let me guess - Are you the madlax Dad that ran out on the field to yell at the refs and then with a few other dads followed the refs out into the parking lot?

Yes, MadLax did play. Its 2027 DMV team (B team) played Predators and lost 5-8.
It sounds like maybe a ML player did something that earned a two game suspension and his Dad confronted the ref in the parking lot?
Perhaps someone can confirm or deny and provide details?
