Thanks. We were pre-gaming this earlier this week and it came up. I was trying to find it in the FED manual during our pre-game, but I was in a hurry and couldn't come up with anything.

So the way our state wants us doing it now is correct if you follow that manual. Interesting. Prior to this clarification, we would decide as a crew how to do it depending on who you were working with. Some guys that work NCAA games did it that way, while others had the Lead bounce it across the corner and count/chop himself. I like the NCAA-M method personally, but I'm not making that decision.
