Mechanics consistency across the various codes
I recently worked the American Legion state tournament. I recognised that the majority of our work would be three and four man. This was something I rarely see, so I studied the mechanics manual that I had - NFHS.
The UIC shows up with some photo-copied pages from some other source. I think it may have been one of those Referee magazine publications - it had that full page format look to it.
Of course what he brought was different than what I had been studying. Then there were two or three snafus during the tournament where neither set of instructions were followed...
Consistentcy across the various ruling bodies would be good. I don't know which set of instructions is best but I do know that ONE SET is the best solution. And that three and four man mechanics should also be incuded in that effort.
