In FED rules, you have to have contact of some kind to have a DPI or OPI call

Sorry Rut, but not true, as per Casebook play 7.5.10, Situation C. If one of the players makes no attempt to catch the ball, and hinders the vision of the opposing player, PI can be called, and as the CB ruling states, this is the only time PI can be called without contact. I believe (please correct me if I am wrong), under NCAA rules, there has to be contact to have pass interference.

Did you read the next sentence?
"The only time you do not have to have contact is when a player is face guarding"
Peace

I only said something, because there was no "except" in the sentence "in FED rules, you have to have contact of some kind to have a DPI or OPI call." Now to me (and I could be totally wrong!) face guarding is looking at the face of the receiver to tell when the ball is coming, etc. It is not necessarily hindering the receiver's vision, and, using that definition, I don't think that face guarding is, by itself, a foul.
