Steve, do you have a FED rule citation or official interpretation for that?

By "U1" I presume you mean the plate umpire. Most officials I know treat the stop sign exactly the same under OBR as you have outlined here. I don't see the difference, unless of course that treatment is mandated by rule under FED. It isn't under OBR, to the best of my knowledge.

Warren, correct me if wrong.....the "stop-sign" is not a mechanic used in OBR, FED has it explicitly worded(as unusally usual). We do use it for the kid games(14u) but I will keep it hot, just for the purpose of a pick play. Hold up F1 from tossing too soon to the dish, but allow a pick. As most kids and kid skippers don't know the stop-sign is in actuality time-out,they just keep on truckin!!! In FED ball, the stop-sign is verbatim deadball sit, I can't quote, 2004 books not here and I toss the oldies cuz it keep changing!! Football season now...you outa come give football a shot....big guys like you always work the middle.....I can see it now....HEY MATE>>>Thats a hold....LOL
