It should also be remembered, that a Casebook Play or Approved Ruling is
not a rule but an interpretation of a rule.

1)Found on page 1 of every case book ever issued in the history of mankind:- "Except as may be specifically noted in
THIS RULES BOOK, The NFHS makes no recommendation about the nature or extent of the modifications that may be appropriate for children who are younger or less skilled than high school varsity athletes".
2)Also found on page 1 of every case book ever issued in the history of mankind:- "Every individual using these
RULES is responsible for prudent judgement with respect to each contest, athlete and facility, and each athlete is responsible for for exercising caution and good sportsmanship".
3) Also found on page 1 of every case book ever issued in the history of mankind:- "
THESE RULES should be interpreted and applied so as to make reasonable accomodations for disabled athletes."
4) Found on page 1 of every case book ever issued in the history of mankind:- This
RULES BOOK has been copyrighted by the National Federation of State High School Associations with the United States Copyright Office".
5) Also found on page 1 of every case book issued since the dawn of the internet(similar language was used in the Dark Ages before that also): "Republication of all or any portion of this
RULES BOOK on the internet is expressly prohibited".
6) From the "FOREWARD" on page 2 found in every case book ever issued in the history of mankind: -
"The interpretations and rulings for all play situations have been approved by the rules committe and are OFFICIAL"
Case book plays aren't rules, Mark? Why is the FED hiding them in
rules books then?
Lah me!
