seems unnecessary. "prompt" is not defined anyway, so really no difference between "must be" and "should be", except that should be makes it sound optional and clear, loud, prompt OUT calls should not be optional.

Using the verb "shall be" would be more appropriate than "should be," as it still places the responsibility on the player to make the calls, while "should be" relieves the necessity to make the calls ("should be" implies that it doesn't have to be).

The "must be" and "shall be" requirements for promptness for all calls were effectively removed by the introduction of 6.C.7.b..
There is another proposal listed which returns all calls to a "must be" requirement, rather than allowing delay until the next service for unreturned balls.
