Sorry I didn't chime in on this sooner. I was out on Long Island all day yesterday for a couple of games. First game was at 9 am, and it's a 3-hour drive for me -- assuming no traffic.

Anyway, I honestly don't know what IAABO's "official" stance on this question is. If you made me guess, I would guess that IAABO would agree with JR: viz., that the Tower Philosophy is to be applied to contact situations only. If you really want me to, I will email Peter Webb and ask, although I can't promise that I will get an answer.

Personally, I apply Ad/Disad to 3-seconds, palming and FT lane violations.
