Not all UICs are actually UICs. There is a difference between title and authority.

In my first NC, a partner claimed to be a UIC (he wasn't the state UIC, so I'm not sure where he was acting as a UIC), and it the pre-game stated that what we were told by the tournament UIC (D Blair) was just a waste of time and steps and we don't really rotate in the 3-umpire mech. Told him since the guy in the tower was doing my evaluation, I was following his (correct) directions on the mechanics to be used.

I was once the senior umpire at a site and my association's rules interpreter; so I will now make the same claim.
