Anywhere. Not just at the APA. More notably though at regional events where you won’t have John Lehman, Michaela Tabb or Nigel Rees at the table. Instead you’ll have some knowledgeable and respected person that probably doesn’t have every last rule memorized in detail and will occasionally make a call based on common sense or just what serves the interest of keeping the event moving.

Matt, have you ever played in an APA regional or higher event?
To be sure, from time to time, like in any other event judgement mistakes will be made,
good hit/bad hit, rail/no rail, in front of the line/ behind the line, and so on, but this rule
the OP is calling into question is in black and white, and granted it could cause some
confusion to someone not familiar with the rule, but when that confusion occurs in an
APA event, the referee is to call an APA floor supervisor someone who is paid to be
familiar with the rules in the book and with access to the APA situational rule
application book. You don't need Michaela Tabb, or John Lehman for this rule.
