[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So explain please how recreational soccer has a mercy rule if NO ONE is keeping score during a game.

It doesn’t have the rule. That’s the point. They were both keeping score (there’s not even a goal keeper in first grade soccer) and imposing a rule intended for games where you do actually keep score.  They were out there to win an unwinnable game  :roll: [/quote]

The rule definitely exists. typically when a team is up by 5 the trailing team puts on a player, once they gain a difference of 4, the extra player exits.

Yeah, a lot of rec leagues have this sort of mercy rule. I also think it's odd that PP has no clue what the score is. If you are not paying enough attention to notice if your team is crushing another team (or getting crushed) what are you doing during the game? The mothers in question may have wanted to make sure the coach followed the league rules or they may have been concerned about whether the other team was having a positive experience. That's very different from yelling at kids or the ref or being overly intense in other ways. [/quote]

There’s no keeping score! I said the rule exists for games during which you keep score.

Either obtuse or dumb.
