To tamp or not to tamp? That is the question.

Hello all,

I am up to the stage where I lay my 1 inch layer of sand that the pavers sit on. Now that I have come this far, I have been getting some conflicting information about how to prep the sand for the pavers. Some say to tamp and screed the sand (then tamp again?), some are saying never tamp the sand as it won’t lock into the pavers. What is the correct process?
