Thumbs up

I think there should be change in the uniform rule to this (not in boy's games, however) - the only problem is that we'd probably have a lot of over-the-back and reaching calls - against the officials!

You can't see it in the photo, but there's a whistle at the end of the tie, which doubles as a lanyard.

We changed to 2 hand report several years ago. I think it looks better reporting with 2 hands JMO.

Here's a memorial to the official that invented three hand reporting. Boy, could this guy hitchhike!

What prompted the change?
