If I call a handcheck on a multiple touch where the number is 2, the quality of game I'll work going forward will decrease. I just wish they'd figure out what they ACTUALLY want and give clear instructions.

Don't get me wrong -- I think handchecking has cleaned up dramatically, but the automatics aren't as automatic as some people profess them to be, at least not in the games I've seen or worked.

I agree. I'll tell you if I ever see 2 hands I don't even blink. Partners have brought this up and even in pregame that it depends. I respond with "it depends if our assignor has told us otherwise." As for the multiple touch I'm probably somewhere between 2-4. It depends on how the game has been called to that point.
