I wasn't going to post until I saw a score of 19-0. It is a shame when scores escalate to this level of a mismatch. It totally dilutes individual statistic comparisons. How can a players year-end statics be adquately compared when a team runs socres up like that. A particular player may be having an outstanding year only scoring 1 goal per game and we wind up comparing them to a team in which a player may have had 5-6 goals in just one game because of the competition.
Why not allow the kids to continue with the game but have a 5 goal differential max. What I mean by that is a team can play however they want but only the first 5 goals would be reported. I would suggest using a reporting mechanism where a 5 goal differential is reported. Instead of 19-0 they would only be allowed to report a score of 5-0. It just doesn't seem right to allow a kid to become a statewide leading scorer in only one game, not saying that this has happened but it could with scores like these.
