I have never seen a rule or manual or clinic presentation which included the disclaimer: "Call the rule this way unless neither team gained an advantage."

Neither have I, but for whatever reason I've been hearing this many times the last couple of months. I also know that I've read it on at least two or three threads on here and/or other message boards, but other than the "Short Handed?" thread on this board I can't seem to find any other mention. I also had thought no one had called anyone to task for mentioning it, but of course Mike did exactly that in that thread.

Exactly! I don't know what advantage might be gained by making 1-5/8 revolutions instead of 1-1/2 revolutions, but if the rule book says you can't do it then I thought I should call it.
Thanks for the feedback everyone. I was planning on bringing this up at a future association meeting, but wanted to make sure I wasn't going to wind up with egg on my face for suggesting we not consider TPOAD as Mike puts it.
