Making mistakes is the best way to learn almost anything.

Unlike many, I can man up when I'm wrong or made a mistake. I know I've read that before, but I, like many, had it as once you leave the field, you can't appeal. It's a easy change to add to my game.

One of the reasons that am lucky enough to do what I do is that I have made more mistakes than most and I have learned from them and from the mistakes of others as well. Some people often want to judge others by their mistakes. I just want to grow and learn from them. :0)

FWIW...in Fed, it is when all defensive players leave the field. 7-1-2 Penalties 2. I still should have remembered/known the difference though. Damn.

It's not so much a quirk in NCAA rules as it's an ambiguity. Where NCAA rules are unclear or not specific, they defer to OBR. Under OBR's official interpretation, for BOO that ends an inning, an appeal must be done before the first pitch to the opposing team.

This NCAA test question had two possible correct answers. Many people I know thought they answered it correctly but got the question wrong on their exams.
