NFHS Test Question

Well, Section 2 Art. 3 says the plate umpire's duties include inspecting equipment.

Under Section 3, there is nothing mentioned about the field umpire inspecting equipment.

Does that mean that the field umpire shouldn't inspect equipment? Probably not, but it's not clear.

When I work games, my partner and I always check equipment together.

Anyone out there recording the number of bats and helmets on the team's lineup card (which you haven't received yet because you haven't held the pregame conference)? Pg. 13 of the umpires manual.

I've never done it and never had a partner that did it. Guess this is a big deal at the NCAA level and I've heard it can take over 30 minutes to get it done.
