The difficulty comes in knowing when a pair has crossed over into the implicit agreement stage. That is why it is important to report all "psyches" even though you will get the stock answer that psyches are allowed per law 40. If a pair is reported every time they psyche, a pattern emerges. ...and the decision that a pair has crossed over is open to interpretation by the TD involved as well.
How delightfully naïve...
Pray tell: What do you think happens when you go off and report a psyche?
Do have some bizarre notion that the director goes and files this information somewhere?
Do honestly believe that this information will ever see the light of day again?
Best case scenario: The director will come over to the table, listen to your tales of woe, look concerned, and pretend to care. 10 minutes later, he'll have forgotten this ever happened.
I recommend trying a little experiment: Next time you're at an event, ask the director whether he he has any ability to actually look at any of these recorder forms. Simply put, if the directors don't have the ability (and inclination) to consult these forms, then they aren't worth a plugged nickle.
