No, that is directly from the NF Officials Manual. It's for both men and women.

The problem with "if you pregame it!" is that it is not the NF mechanic. What other exceptions are you going to make to the official mechanics? You're better off following the manual, that way there's no deviation.
IIRC, when the change first came out, one source said "only two-person" and another did not make that restriction. Some states adopted the mechanic for both two- and three-person, some just for two-person. And, some crews / officials deviate from the established mechanics.

Continuing to argue this is like discussing whehter there's a shot clock in HS ball (in some states it's yes, and in some it's no)
Bob, that may be true. However, the official mechanic from the NF is that it's not allowed. That's what's printed in the manual. If your state says to do it, then do it. Some crews do deviate from the official mechanics. That doesn't make it correct.

Besides, it's too hot to do anything else. Just as well pick a topic and beat it to death!
