Hugo, FHSAA wants us to follow the NFHS mechanics as written in the 2010-2011 Umpire Manual. So ... they have "adopted" the new between innings positioning. That's the way we will teach it in our Pensacola Field Clinic.

Pensacola???
Are you sure you don't use Alabama HSAA mechanics?

Just kidding, of course.

I'm good with the mechanics change - makes life easier for me

I just wasn't aware that the mechanics weren't universally required (unless specifically exempted)

I'll be at down South East for my clinic....

Kidding? Why? It's true! For decades, the panhandle of Florida has been referred to as "L.A.", Lower Alabama. There were even state-wide mags in Florida that asked that question.

And when I lived there, that was a compliment!

It is true that I can drive to Montgomery or Birmingham faster than I can get to Gainesville or Orlando.

Several of our umps work in both states.
