Is this true?
I have never heard this referenced before.
Could you give me any FED references to this either in the Rules Book or Case Book? I am not questioning whether or not you are correct. I only want a reference so that when I see this I can quote a reference.
Thanks in advance.

Also think about it. The rule says the ball is Dead when announced. Well like the balk in fed, Its DEAD.
