Scott,
Wondering what the rules are for Green Big Days. Guessing ABA rules with some modifications. My main questions are 1) Can one have a support vehicle? Have youth team and parents would insist on it. Realize that somewhat defeats the purpose of a Green Big Day. and 2) Are playback recordings used like in normal ABA Big Days? Or is green taken to mean no electonics either?
Thanks for your answers,
Ron Weeks
Ron,
Check out the About section on the website for the general event rules. A support vehicle for emergencies with kids is understandable, and if it is not used during the count period, the team still conforms to the guidelines. Using responsible playback is permissible, no electronic restrictions specified as of yet!
