At NFHS state tournaments, there is often a very, very fine line between the ability of officials. An official who fails to give a preliminary signal every time, might just give one of the evaluators a reason to make a delineation between two very good officials.

Well, since I've worked the state tournament exactly once in the 7 seasons that I've worked a full HS varsity schedule and the 3 seasons that I've worked a full college varsity schedule, I could give a flying fig about what the observers think. B/c they're not observing me!

That's fine Chuck, do what works for you. My only point was that I don't think anyone could ever fault you for doing the mechanics by the book. I can think of times when leaving out the preliminary signal could lead to confusion.
