[/B][/QUOTE]How can you justify not calling the rule uniformly? How could you possibly call the rule,as written,against one team-and ignore it against another team? All of your posts in this thread so far seem to point out that you think it is mandatory to call something according to the strict language of a written rule,and now you are recommending that we selectively apply a certain rule only. Why???

Btw,here are your exact quotes from previous responses in this thread:

"If we are not diligent and make an error which puts us in such a situation, we must then follow what is written in the rules,after all that is why they are there.Some say the rules aren't fair,so change them. But is it any more fair not to follow them?"

"Unfortunately,common sense does not always win out.In my opinion, this is one of those goofy situations,which if you are silly enough to get yourself into,you have to follow the rulebook to the letter to get out."
