Scrimmages have "wins" now? A coach who is cleverly using his scrimmage game time to try out new recruits or tactics probably doesn't care about the "win". Several of the scrimmages I watched were conducted as a round robin among three teams, so each got to play 2 games in one day. In a different situation of only one game that day, the teams and referees agreed before the game started that they would play full overtime periods, regardless of the score.

Yeah, yeah, but will they all still be tied for first, and last?
 
Lots of teams sell tickets to scrimmages. I’ve paid at multiple places for scrimmages. Having worked in an athletic department it’s more likely the admin doesn’t want to staff ticket booths (and pay workers) for a scrimmage when it’s most likely to be a wash money wise.

Seems cheesy to me. This is the first time my kid has had an away scrimmage during the regular season and not coincidentally it will be the first time that I will have to pay for a game that doesn’t count. Isn’t the $10 for parking enough? It’s a meaningless game.

But it's a bad precedent to stop charging admission fees.

Stanford is mopping up Missouri. 6-0 in the 2nd 30 minute period. It was 0-0 in the first 30 minutes.

I think that tells us Stanford's bench is a hell of lot better then Mizzou's. Elite teams like them and UCLA have 1st team players coming off the bench. To compete, other teams have to be off the charts in shape and have an excellent goalie.

Agreed. They started a lineup mixed with starters and subs.
