Actually this is not about you. This tread was started because people are getting off on interpretations and seriously debating things you cannot find anywhere. If you want to give your opinion that is your option. Tony or no one else (other than a moderator of course) cannot hinder your opportunity to speak on any issue. But it is a little frustrating for many veterans that have been coming here for years and see guys who admit to only working certain levels come up with interpretations that are based on nothing but their own thinking. I have not been officiating that long, but I was around when this rule was changed as to whether both 0 and 00 could be used. It was changed to eliminate the confusion. Any official worth their salt is not going to go digging the rational you gave for calling a T. As a matter of fact it is very common to avoid these types of Ts at all costs. You have every right to voice your opinion, but so do officials that do not go along with your rational either. And the fact that you are new as an official just brings more light to that fact.

Peace
