Watch Your Field Hockey Updates, Buddy

You might remember the NCAA's idiotic decision to ban live-blogging from the press box during the College World Series last year. Well, they've adjusted the policy a bit this year ... in a pretty hilarious way.

Via Scott's Shots, we proudly present the ingenious new regulations on press box blogging from the NCAA. (PDF) They're letting you post from the press box ... but only occasionally.


Seriously, check out these limitations on how often blogs can be "updated":

Fall Sports Soccer: Five times per half; one at halftime Field Hockey: Five times per half; one at halftime Volleyball: Three per Competition; one in between Competitions Football: Three per quarter; one at halftime Cross Country: Ten per day/session Men's Water Polo: Three per quarter; one at the halftime Winter Sports Ice Hockey: Three per period - one in between (includes overtime) Basketball: Five times per half; one at halftime; two times per overtime period Wrestling: Ten per session Indoor Track and Field: Ten per day/session Swimming and Diving: Ten per day/session Bowling: Ten per day/session Gymnastics: Ten per session

Brilliant! God, what we wouldn't give to see the beleaguered NCAA staffer chasing down reporters trying to live blog the bowling championships. "You just tapped in your eighth update, mister ... you got two left. So MAKE THEM COUNT."
