Thought I would start this thread to keep issues that come up we want to gripe about - out of the kids age group threads?
The latest issue I saw in the U16 girls thread was BQ adding a no tolerance policy for parent behaviour. Wasn't that always the policy? This is typical of BQ's approach of not trying to deal with the issue directly themselves. Watch, as some people have mentioned, that certain people will take advantage of being able to bring a person to the coordinators attention and have them thrown out for virtually nothing.
Given the recent rugby league incidents in particular it his no surprise to see BQ's reaction to parent behaviour towards officials. But given we are a sport that has a lid on most incidents, this now opens the door for power crazed individuals to make a point.
Hopefully it does not come to that.
Other issues: Player costs (club and rep), season dates to not coincide with the VIC clubs, U14's being made to play 12 months of the year in QLD, no communication between BQ & schools competition, rep selection processes etc.
