Wait a minute

If "They" don't want it, say at Advanced National School, and it's an old mechanic but still accepted...

THEN WHY IN THE HELL IS IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PAGE ON SIGNALS IN THE ASA UMPIRE MANUAL.

Timing play signal isn't there, but a lot of people use it, and I would hope it gains acceptance since it is a valuable signal/mechanic in many situations.

The horrible (IMHO) mechanic of pointing to the upper left chest with just the index finger when you have an infield fly with one out isn't in there, but a LOT of people use it.

The foul tip signal is there. Use it.IMHO it is far more valuable, for reasons described above, then it is to not use it and conserve the three calories of energy used to signal it.
