Why an NCAA book, with all its cockamamy rules, was consulted is a mystery to me. All AABC games use OBR for their main rules base.

SDSTEVE...
I wasnt "consulting" the college book. I know the rule. It was a few days after the game, and I just thought Id look it up, and see what the exact verbage was.
I realize the OBR book is used. However, I dont have a hard copy of the OBR, and I knew the rule was the same across all codes. I just happened to grab the college book.
So Steve..put down your Colombo overcoat, mystery is solved.
