Have the 2013 mechanics manuals been put out yet?  All I can find is for 2012.

They were just undergoing some graphics edits last week so I would expect they will be out soon.  There really is not much difference from 2012.

Yesterday at the Dallas clinic they were discussing a 3rd KO option: (1) normal positions with L and R back; (2) short with L up on the Receiving team restraining line; and (3) allowing either the R or the L to line up at the 25 with the other back on the goal line in the normal position.  This is to help cover this mid range pooches.  I like the new option better than short mechanics.

I have a copy of the 2013 5 Man Manual (Revised June 2013). I'm sure I downloaded it from the state TASO site. I can't find it there now, though.
