BlueGrassRivals.com welcomes your participation in our Discussion Forums. These forums are open to all-comers. Our community is made up of fans, parents, sports broadcasters, referees, players, and coaches. These members come together to share their expertise, debate their opinions, make friends, or simply show their support.
Inside the forums, you will find some amazingly well-informed members that provide you with a multitude of content. This community is made up of individuals of many different age groups. Age groups vary from elementary students to senior citizens. If you do decide to join the site, please participate in at least one forum and be informative and respectful in your discussions. This increases the site's value to you and to other members. This site is a team effort. We want you on our team. We insist that you respect everyone here.
In order to keep our forums enjoyable and interesting for all of our users, we simply ask that you follow a few minimal rules.

(This applies to everyone on the board, including staff members) Disagreeing with an idea or opinion of one is perfectly acceptable and is not the same as attacking that individual. An example of this would be calling someone a disrespectful name because you don’t agree with them. - Violating this rule will result in an immediate ban of user account and you could possibly be prosecuted.
