[quote name="mwmuck" post="862677" timestamp="1285963039"] I stand corrected. Has it always been this way and is it that way with all of the TIFI teams you play? [/quote] We have been with the league since 2008 and it has been that way since then, I honestly don't know before that. The ONLY concession we offer is that a returning player from the following year has the ability to sign up early. We only offer one early (returning players) registration each year.

[quote name="mwmuck" post="862635" timestamp="1285959305"] First come, first served? So if the first 25 are dumplings then the sponsors and volunteers are going to travel to Houston 5 times a season to get pounded unmercifully by teams that are recruited for talent? Please. [/quote] Absolutely, we do not turn the kids away(after 25 we start a waiting list). We play with what we get. The sophomore team from the 2008 season won a single game the whole season with second string players on the last drive in overtime. We take what we get and make a team. Good, bad, or otherwise.... we send flyers out to the schools and post signs all over town but we don't have tryouts.....

[quote name="SgtRey" post="853200" timestamp="1285108808"] Hey, what happened, why all the rule changes? We use to practice when your team showed up(and it was up to the head coach to follow the rules)...and your team was...YOUR TEAM.  It seems like this league went to some serious micro managing?  When did this happen? and Why? It just seems so different...IDK...guess it works... I remember when we wouldn't get participation from the parents(conscessions, play monitors, etc..Jay wouldn't allow the games to start...lol!  somebody always came down.. [/quote] Hopefully I can answer some of your questions. TIFI states the time limit in which teams can practice and considers all four levels as one team. so when practice starts at the predisegnated time all four levels should start at that time and finish at the predesignated time. We dont want to give TIFI any reason to remove us from the league. Starting and finishing practices "whenever we feel like it" gives them the excuse they need to say we are extending practices. Trivial as this may seem to some it is very serious to them. You've been in this game a long time Sarge and you seen what its like to have a club thats not organized. As far as Coaches being held accountable I think you know that answer already  ;).  The staff give the coaches alot of leeway but if he starts messing up The staff or a parent will talk to him.  ;D  Mary is correct in the TIFI crackdown coming from a very small amount of coaches skirting the rules for an advantage. We dont make the rules but have to abide by them. Why chance it when there are three teams on their way to an undefeated season and the potentential threat to have four teams (Yes you guys still have a chance at a superbowl run) bringing the championships back to Beaumont for only the second time in Bulls history. When is the last time you heard "Powerhouse" and Bulls in the same sentence? They are refering to us as just that. They know we are coming and are bringing the game to them.  Believe me when I tell you this, the Houston clubs are on point and watching us this year. For instance were you aware that we had a coach from another team challange the Bulls and a potential forfeit due to some players wearing shields on their helmets. Luckily the Bulls staff had done their homework and followed the rules and had all the players in question turn in release forms for the shields before the season started. Hows that for rules and "Micro Managing". Like I said, They are watching us this year... As far as parents not participating. Well they cant all be like you and me Right Sarge  ;) . Seriously we have a great bunch of parents this year and most are willing to help. I think most of the parents are on board and are stepping up now that they realise that without concession or Monitors that we can not field a team or host games. The club only has 15 min to field a team which includes Monitors, chains, players, coaches etc and we get ALOT of leeway from Bob but Trust me when I say this. He will pull the plug and call a game if we cant get this accomplished. All the parents know this now and hopefully understand how important it is to have all these key folks in place now. I hope this helps you out.. But you have any more issues please feel free to contact one of the board and discuss this with them. See you in Alvin...
