Hand-to-mouth

Just curious: Is a hand-lick legal now if F1 "rubs it off?" Yesterday, I saw Injun Josh Tomlin 100% go to his yap several times while on the hill, followed by a wipe on his uni.

Has this rule changed?

Am I guilty of vicarious OOO?

Your thoughts, gang.

Don't need thoughts - the rule changed.

Thanks, Rich. In my blissful retirement, I need help of age-disadvantaged brethren!

The OBR rule now matches the NCAA rule.

Still can't do it on the rubber, though....but on the dirt is fine as long as you wipe.
