Read Steve's post which included the NCAA umpire manual paste. It is accurate.
You can do whatever you want, wherever you want when you are working for people/organizations/associations that don't care. When it comes to those who do care, you are lucky you live in this country, because you now have a choice. Either you can do it their way, or go home. I'm sure that isn't what the UIC or assigner do not want to see you go, but that's just the way it is. Everyone cares, but when it comes right down to it, only the individual can make that decision.
