Is cleaning the PP considered beer league ?

I am in the minority in my area but I thought that was because other Blues were lazy. Now I'm thinking I'm a dork for doing it.

Feedback please and as always it's appreciated......

Around here, NFHS and ASA, you better clean it every half inning or get dinged on your eval.
Not so worried about it in SP but in FP you better get it.

This has been standard in almost all of the FP tournaments that I have worked in ASA over the years and it was a definate in the ISF stuff.
The rabbit cleans it in 3 or 4 umpire crews unless someone had gone out, whoever is inside cleans it.
