Changing your partner's call

Hey Tony, you went to the trouble of telling us exactly what the fed wants you to do with respect to 3 point coverage and still you can't find it within you to follow this simple directive issued by the fed?

How come?

I don't see any reason to think that my partner's perception of what occurred in my primary area is better than my perception. If I made the effort to be in position and fulfilled my responsibility to the officiating team why should my partner, who was not in the proper position to see the plays for which I am responsible, have the last opportunity to "correct me" - no rebuttal, no questions asked, no discussion, no nothing, except tell the world that I was wrong and he was right.

I don't like it. And I assume someone at Fedlandia dreamed it up because I have not seen it referenced to any rule or mechanics book.

Perhaps I'm just not used to having that caliber of partner. Don't know; but I don't like it.

Sorry you didn't get the watch analogy Jeff, I thought it was a great example of different perceptions and both parties thinking they were 100% correct. So, who do we synchronize our watches with now?
