And when you use the optional position in 2-umpires, you only chase in the "V".

So I pulled my 2009 manual, and got a surprise (guess I have been skimming, when I should have been restudying).

In 2008, as best I recall (I gave my 2008 manual to someone starting out that needed the help without the expense) the 'V' was called the 'wedge' and the counter-rotated coverage area was called the 'slice'. I distinctly remember that term at the 2008 clinic; it was listed as an agenda item, and I seem to recall it was one of the 'front of the book' Points of Emphasis.

But now, the 2009 manual (pages 164 and 165) go back to the previously outlawed/disregarded/unwanted term of 'V', and rename the slice as the wedge. I didn't read them closely; looked at the pic, skimmed what I thought I already knew. Am I losing it, or will others out there confirm my memory? Anyone with a 2008 CCA Manual confirming?
