Lyndon, I am not sure what edition of the judging guide you have, but it has been common knowledge for many years. I thought that the first edition had that info in it. But that is over 20 years ago

It's cleared defined in the current (3rd Edition) with a nicely 'decoded' example that's translated...

If the code is, O H 1 2 ,spaced like this, then it means 1970, Aug 1st, 2nd shift.
