It is not a misprint.
The NFHS editorial committee decided it was wording that was not necessary and therefore took it upon themselves to remove it.
At the rules interpreteres meeting in Indianapolis last month it was made abundantly clear to the editorial committee that removing the language could cause confusion.
It was also suggested that they at least insert "live ball" (so that the wording was ...the effect of any live ball act during...).
I agree with ljudge the wording is confusing.
However, believe BBR, the rule has not changed, AND,
you can bet it will be "reworded" in 2005.

In my humble opinion, some folks seem to think change is needed just for the sake of change.
I stay with the majority who feel, if it aint broke don't fix it!

-Nuff said

Why didn't they just leave it alone, we all understood it!
