One of the odd things that I experienced working NSA tournaments was that ALL the players from both teams were required to be at the plate meeting. Presumably so that they could hear the instructions about what was allowed and not allowed. I know you'll love this Wade...we were expected to remind the players that shirt tails were to be tucked in all the way around. Yeah, I thought it was OOO, but that seems to be SOP.
Also, after watching my partner do the double flip thing, when my turn came around I decided I wasn't going to do that. I only did a single flip, like I normally would. Later I was told that a double flip is required. It was "You're heads, you're tails", but the winner of that flip won the honor of calling the second flip. I didn't much care for that either. I was using my ASA flipping coin though!
I also had to get a kitchen timer. We not only had the PU running a timer, but the BU had to sync his timer with the PU and keep his over behind first base. I suppose that was for emergency purposes in case someone's timer ran out of battery power. |
