CIPP Dispute Prompts MARC Playoff Change
The Mid-Atlantic Men's DII College playoffs started last week, but they didn't actually happen.
Villanova beat York 40-21, while Lehigh beat Shippensburg 23-3.
But those results have been thrown out. On Saturday morning, York filed a complaint that Shippensburg hadn't CIPP'd (registered with USA Rugby) until the week before the game. This is easily checked and in fact is correct:
Six Shippensburg players were registered on October 18 or later. Three of those players are listed on the MARC website as having played previously for Shippensburg. One of those was registered the day before the one game he is listed for.
However, two players, Chris Armbrust and Carlos Lugo are listed as having played against York on September 21, a month before they were registered with USA Rugby.
