If you look in this year's mechanics book (Men's CCA) they clearly state that you have to stop the clock first, and then give the direction. In the past it said it did not matter, but for some reason this year they made it clear this mechanic (just the pointing) was not what they wanted. What you see on TV does not apply, because those officials are not judged by the preciseness of their mechanics. They are judged by their calls. When you see a lot of those guys on national TV, they are very accomplished official. You cannot use them as the model for mechanics in most cases. I was told by one D1 official, "You are not Teddy Higgins. You cannot do what he does." He said that in a very joking way. But I got the point.

Peace
