For anyone who visits McGriffs, you may be aware that this play got a bit of an argument and the claim that a member of the National Staff ruled otherwise.

Well, as it turns out, no such ruling was made. However, the NS umpire did feel that the ruling could be different than what was offered and is passing it on to a higher authority. It was his opinion that the POE was inserted to stop some of the ridiculous shifts that apparently occur at one level or another and that in the play offered here, it may not apply.

I will keep you informed as to how this POE will be clarified by ASA.
