Evans does not even allow the GDS at a WEEKEND Clinics (as we had in Portland last spring) -- when you get your registration information from the Evans Group before the clinic it states that they will teach only those that use the stand heel-to-instep and the scissors.
Evans, BTW, does not believe in ANY part of the GDS system. He thinks it is "mumbo-jumbo" (my term). I had a long talk with him about the stance at our clinic.

Makes me wonder if Evans is getting a little out of touch by "not" allowing anything but one stance even at a weekend clinic.
I see several of the MLB umpires using GD or a variation of it and I think the games i've watched they have been very good at "balls and strikes"
I know since i've gone to the GD its made a lot of difference in the way i feel in the late innings and after the game.
