I have no intention of going to your meeting. I posted the rule for others to read, not just for you. Please don't take it personally. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
I just wanted it to be clear that what you had written in the following post was not correct (because you argued for a balk, which it's not), and that someone brand new didn't read it and believe it to be true:

To which BigUmp56 replied:
"Why was it a balk? Did he step back with the free foot or the pivot foot? Did he simulate his initial motion to pitch as he disengaged?"
What you described is not, and was not prior to the rules changes, a balk in any rule set, so why would you argue that it is a balk?
