I guess when in Nome, do as the Nomans do.

Yes, but it is not a rule and it is not a mandate it is at best a suggestion. I have always looked at NF Manual stuff as suggestions to what should be done, but your state will tell you what should be followed. And being a multiple sport official this is something that is often dictated by the state or the conference you work for. Also in that Manual there are two different situations to do and they do not address things a state might want to be addressed or followed in the pre-game. It is kind of like the post where someone worried about how many fingers were in the picture to signal an out of bounds call. Do not take the information so far to suggest that if not done it is a problem if not followed to the letter.
