Thanks Freix, you saved me a lot of time.
You see Whowefoolin, we have to call FED games the way that the rules state. We don't care what the fans think, the players need consistancy. I can understand why in some of these interstate tournaments using FED, some of the coaches and players become confused when they come to my state. We call the FED rules no matter weather we disagree with them or not and our games average 1 to 2 hours!
I've called verbal obstruction twice that I can remember. the runner's should have known their coach's voice but they screwed up and the FED rules protect them if they are 13 or 18 years old. As a matter of fact if I do a game with older players, I inform them at the ground rules that if they really want to play by FED, they get all of it or none at all!
