playoff uniform protocol

[940AC]

I dont see why more coaches request 7 man crews.

Or is it because the chapters are not offering that option?

I would like to see the chain crew wearing black pants.  We are making the first and second year guys waste money on knickers and socks.  Is it TASO required that chain crew wear white knickers?

As long as they all wear the same thing, I don't know why wearing black pants would an issue on the chain crew.  Then again, I'm not the authority.  I just act like it sometimes.

[TXMike]

There are no published TASO requirements re uniform for chain crews (or timers).

Mike,

I may be wrong but I believe the Football Board at the San Antonio meeting, directed that chain crews were to wear the knickers and white shirts.....I am checking on that now.

[linesman87]

That would be great info if you come across something. So far the chain crews that we have encountered have worn the black pants.

[TXMike]

I recall a discussion but do not recall a resolution  And if there was a resolution, it did not make it into the mechanics manual.

see, this is what I told him as well, everything that y'all are saying. I didnt really have an answer, all I could say was what I was told the uni was. I've only ever run chains in the dome, so weather was never an issue.

[TXMike]

You are representing your Chapter so I would look for guidance from them so at least you are all 3 uniform, whatever that uniform happens to be.  (And I sure would hope they do not say anything that would make anyone have to buy new uniform items for this)

When our chapter runs chains, it is in knickers and white polo style shirt with black and white socks and black shoes.

I would like to see us change to Black pants (like for varsity) with white polo style shirt.  But, I havent done a lot of chains this year either.

It is also perplexing that this crew break a rule for whatever reason and then receives another game assignment.  This will only lead to more crews (big timing it) to get more games.  I am sure there is another crew in their chapter that is capable of handling that game.  Even if it is just for one week it would send an appropriate message.

We are telling the chain crew to wear what they want so long as they are all dress alike.

[backjudge85]

Mike, you wouldl be correct, we didnt make it to the mechanics manual with it.  We left it up to the chapters to decide how they wanted their chain crews to dress.  As long as they all dress the same, I guess it really doesnt matter.......

Pretty sure they had this week's game assigned prior to anyone knowing about last week's uniform.  It appears that chapter leadership didn't find out until Wednesday.
