Add the fact that I was referring to ASA slowpitch (where we do not handle lineups), and you start to catch my drift.
The items I mentioned are specifically required of the umps in my association in my region. You can't very well tell me not to do exaclty what my UIC and zone rep tell me I should be doing...

Read the NFHS Umpiring Manual or the CCA Umpiring Manual. Both hardly "regional," then tell me what they have to say about pregames. I don't have my ASA book here at work with me, but I am sure that it probably echoes the sentiment of the other two, as that is what has always been stated in their clinics.
Seems the only "regional" issue here is the one that is out of step with the nation, yours.
