Very well put Ardeth, This has been a concern of mine and a few other trainers for several years. You are not alone on your observations. I do not know how to get the rule changed. I also brought it to the attention of a evaluation committee member last year at Lacrosse and nothing has changed. At the very least, we whom have the experiance and knowledge of the discrimination understand it. Those making the rules apparently do not. I'm with you Ardeth - but have no clue how to change it.
