If anyone is on the fence... I just bought one of these from @Whosyourcaddy. I brought it to a friend's coin shop and he scanned it with a fluoroscopy x-ray. It came back as 99.99% titanium.

Excellent. Guess I missed it in the BRD. I see it now. Thanks again

Thank you. Much appreciated I wasn't saying I disagree. It makes sense at that level to offer the option. I was just looking to be pointed in the right direction for the high school reference. I'd been trained differently (MiLBUM 6.15 "It is (the manager's) responsibility to take the initiative and advise the umpire of his decision"), and couldn't find a specific citation for FED that says otherwise. I did see lawump's post in this thread. That's why I revived this thread and asked my question here.

Can someone point out to me where it says that, in FED, umpires should bring this option to the manager's attention? Far as I've ever known, it's up to the manager to know his option here. I'm making a new umpire curriculum for my high school board and this came up in conversation. A longtime high school umpire I really respect is adamant the high school procedure is different. If that's what it is, I'd like to read it somewhere. I can't find it in the BRD or the FED rules or case books. Thanks

He just has to reach a dead-ball area, same as LL Situations C and V don't apply to U3K.
