The last thing I am worried about is the high school coaches, players, or parents reading a mistake in the current rule book. After all, how many of us were seriously challenged by ASA misstating the D3K rule for two years?
I would be more worried about the umpires getting the right interpretation. [/B]

I had that friggin D3K thing come up in a 14U Travel tourney last summer by some momma pulling her rule book out of her purse.. it was good for a chuckle and she was ignored out of hand.
Not really the same situation though, because D3K is and always will be D3K so a screw up is fine.. this is a rule that was rewritten to the way it was two years ago and actually a major change when brought down, now appearing to be reversed.
We can coin a new term here though - "NFHS D3K'd it in the book".
I have a meeting NFHS meeting this coming monday and I'm going to ask the area UIC about his thoughts on this, I printed up the post, he may not even know anything about it at all one way or the other.
