Again, this is an exceedingly minor issue.

At Chesapeake, Greg Needel explained to me that his instructions are to omit these lines during qualifications, but to say them during eliminations.

I'd argue the point is to help develop a rhythm for everyone involved in the field operations. It's a verbal cue that prompts people to transition from "setup" tasks to "gameplay" tasks. Like every NFL quarterback knows, messing with the cadence has subtle but powerful effects on mental preparedness.
