I repeat what I said earlier in this thread. I don't think the PBUC can be applied to a FED ruling because of the administrative methods for appeals. It's gives the defense an advantage that I don't think the FED intended.

I don't like the PBUC ruling although I would enforce it. I Believe it's a red herring because most coaches would never think to ask for it. I think the situation probably comes up often but is never ruled on because of lack of awareness by the defense. So using that assuption that's why I would never do it a FED game. As REFEREE said this month in an article about moving up, you have to know and call the rules according level that you are working. I don't think this is expected nor would be condoned. Unless FED makes a ruling to the contrary then you are just setting yourself up for no advancement. If such ruling is released then coaches would be aware then making that out call is acceptable.

Normally you can take rulings from other sources and apply them else where, but here the systems are too different. It would be nice to get an amswer from FED so Carl can add it to next year's BRD.
