Truly one of the stupidest thing in CIF. If you earn a #1 seed, you shouldn't have to drive.

The CIF polling and seeding process is stupid as well. Politics baby.

Why would the rule be different for playoffs than the regular season?
Like I said, freakin HS

Apparently, since teams travel much further for CIF games, the traveling team may not have as much time to warm up as the home team, especially batting practice, an unfair advantage. Also, parents were pulling players at lunch time or taking them out for half of the day and would go to the cages and do BP, the rule prohibits this. If you have a batting cage at home, you may not use it the day of the game for front pitch BP.

I have ONE question, how in the world would you govern/police a kid who goes home after school has a quick bite to eat, goes into the garage has dad do some god for bid "front toss", or better yet goes inside the cage and hits off machine, and then gets dressed for game and drives to game. SO does the CIF pull out the lie detector machine and have girls one by one get hooked up and ask them, "did you or did you not front toss little girl at home today", cmon seriously this is comical.

I think the intent of the rule is to prevent injury at game site, has nothing to do with time constraints or being fair (you want to hit you leave an hour earlier, its pretty simple), its more than likely a liability thing and the CIF is CTA...

Perez would be waiting in the garage with a camera. Losses to MD and Rosary. Just saying, Dont think the gates are wide open for this guy in the afterlife.

This is the explanation from a CIF official on why the rule exists, crazy huh. Logic has nothing to do with it.

Show me a rule-making body and I'll show you a group of individuals who get off on exerting authority over others. Probably because they were always picked last for dodgeball as children or some such...

Whether the rules make any sense is irrelevant. They gotta make rules! Lots and lots of rules.

Like ASA banning college players Gold team eligible from Gold teams, but not banning them from 18U. Now 18U teams are stacking their rosters with college kids for the National Title hunt out in Hemet.
