    Contact Caleb. He is looking to go five an 7 man roster.

    Well they just got home. I got a couple bad call reports but overall they said the reffing was good


    One was that the head ref called one of them out from across the field. He did take a hit but it did not break. And then the closest ref came up and went and check him and told the head ref he was clean. However the head ref insisted he saw a break from across the field and that he was out. No paint was found.... that was one of the games they lost. And our kid had just moved into a key position when this happened. Changed the whole game.


    The second call was the one game our kids had to play back to back games. No rest. And a old hit under one kids pack was wiped as best he could but when he got back out on the field the ref saw the hit and called him out. Even though the wipe was clearly smeared and dimished.


    However they got several good key calls in the end. One which my kid (Caleb) exchanged fire with an approaching player right after Caleb had pulled the flag. The guy was coming to bunker him. Caleb looked out at the right place and right time and saw him coming and Caleb tagged him twice before he could return fire. At that point Caleb took a bounce hit. But the ref saw it all. The hit did not break anyway but the ref said he would have given him the call regardless as he saw he got the other player was eliminated first. Caleb then hung the flag for the points. That was against the best team there. They picked back up 75 points on that game.

    The very last game they had the pull and the other team was eliminated and Caleb was the only one still in (he managed to take out their last two) and as he went to get up to run to hang the flag when time ran out. He did not get the hang points for time. That would have finished them in Fourth place. But it was not to be.

        They did. They are very upbeat about it. No problems more than any other tournement has. You get a few bad calls here and there. And they had fun. But it is kind of a shame they didn't finish as strong as they were in the middle. But one or two breaks and they would have. That one missed flag hang was enough to get em in fourth and only 5 points out of third. One call going thier way and they were in the top three like they wanted to be. Maybe more! You never know what woulda happened had you not gotten that one out you didn't think you should have. In three man one out really hurts ya. But no sense dwelling on it. It happens. No one is out to cheat you. Its just the way it goes.
