That may be true in your area relating to state high school adoptions. Not at all true here.

The ASA Rules Book doesn't have a lightning rule that must be adhered to. It calls it a guideline, and says "should", not shall or must.

Nor is it listed as a rule in the Rules Book. It is a portion of the "Safety Awareness Guide".
