But seriously, when I work the chains, I make sure my WH doesn't do a measure in that sort of situation by reminding him we started on (eg) the 20. I also have a problem with HL's who allow the chain crew to be lazy and set up 6 feet back rather than set up on the sideline for accuracy, then move back for safety. If I'm assessing, that's a surefire ding on the HL..... |

All lines *MIGHT* be straight, but 2 weeks ago I had a straight line going from the 30 on the guest sideline to the 35 on the home sideline... Fun!

The whole system we use is only accurate if all lines we use do not elbow anywhere, and they are all parallel or perpendicular where required.
In addition, when measuring, the links have to parallel to the sideline. That's why I'm thinking about developing a system to remove the need for the chain crew to come out: have 4 transceivers at the back corners of the EZ. The U has a clicker (something like a baseball counter) and when a measurement is needed, simply places the clicker at the front of the ball, and the 4 transceivers quadangulate the position of the ball and tell you if it's a 1D or not. Accuracy is 100% guaranteed. |

Also, I think JR explicitly referred to Euclidean space, where his claim is correct and is exceptionless. Whatever space-time is, it's almost certainly not Euclidean. ;) |
