Popcorn.

Let's take a vote: who likes to read the same stuff from Rut over and over again?

In my mind, there is value in replies (like Ruts) to situations like the OPs where his state is seemingly more restrictive about mechanics.

There is also more value in other information, such as that published by the Fed, if only for the reason that there are likely more non-IL readers than there are IL readers.

I appreciate when NevadaRef and Rut each qualify their responses with why they're responding as they do (except for learning about Dave Gannaway).

I do agree with NV that Rut's pink statements are linked, and that Rut's commentary (2nd sentence) could be construed as his opinion rather than IHSA policy. IMHO, he didn't adequately clarify that this mechanic is part of the IHSA mechanic.

There are practices in place to avoid this; such as ensuring you make eye contact. If I'm administering and see subs coming in, I watch the subs and my partner. I'll do my own count, and then look at my partner to make sure he/she's ready.

It can only lead to problems if there are other sloppy aspects of the mechanics.

Oddly enough, we, being plural, indicates two or more. If you wish to interpret it as being "all of the officials on this forum" you can certainly do that. If you wish to opt out, there's an 800 number you can call to get on a list...

Yeah, but if you're "somebody" you can usually get right in

Oddly enough, that's a big, steaming pile of crap.

The gentleman from Nevada stated in the paragraph where he used the word "we" that Rut should ---".....leave the rest of the board to those of us in the other 49 states plus DC."

Soooooo, when did Nevada and you get elected as spokesman for "those of us in the other 49 states and DC"? I musta missed getting the memo on that.

I don't see why not. I do it all the time.

Chuck suggested we not give JR a ballot; it might confuse him. We were afraid he'd end up voting for Pat Buchanon.

It seemed like the prudent course of action at the time.

I don't know why JR's panties are in such a twist. According to his posted location, he isn't in one of those other 49 states or DC.
