Well, it would appear that the referee did not apply the LOTG properly to your game. I love to use the language that the referees on this board use. Maybe one of those referees can chime in on this issue?
I have noticed that a SCDSL rule is not being applied properly. At 03 and above, players that get subbed off in the first half of the game are done for that half (there is one re-entry allowed in the second half). In the five games my dd's team has played, many times her opponent is not following this rule. To the best of my knowledge, no referee has made an issue of this rule. For those that have played Beach DeMelo, have they followed this rule? When my dd's team played Beach DeMelo, he had multiple players go in and out during the first half.
