Funny you should mention OHSAA. I am in Ohio, and ran this by Dr. Moore for an interpretation. My call was good, but a warning is to be given when the "area of competition" is designated. From her response, it would be a no call at the bigger meets as well due to the fact there is no rule about using the same uni.
In all fairness this was a huge breakdown between myself and the clerk. Had this been a day when it was warmer than 39 degrees, or if it had been a bigger meet, we would have inspected the teams prior to the race and caught this.
If there are any younger officials out there...nothing can replace good preventive officiating.
