i was reading down below about someone wondering about steps.. simple.. first you figure out where you're ideal take-off would be, and during warm-ups, (if it's not labeled on the ground), have you and your teammates look to see where you should be.. if you're supposed to take off from 11', then you don't need to stand your foot right there and hold up competition to check your "step", just see how close you are to it.. if you took off from 10'.. then you know you were a foot under.. simple.. so, there ya have it.. everyones happy.. you're not in the way of the officials, and you can still have your "step" every meet.. teamwork is a wonderful thing..
