Therein lies the problem. We got dueling rulings, and I don't really have a clue which one the FED currently prefers. I do know that Illinois officials should be following the IHSA-issued ruling until something else comes out, but that doesn't apply outside Illinois.

Once again, I agree with you for the most part.
The only part I would disagree is this is something that other states would not draw a similar conclusion. The NF does not even have this ruling in their current books. You can let them know of whatever ruling once was posted, but you are assuming they will buy that. They might have similar questions as to why this cannot be found in the current books. This was my main concern and why I asked our state guy to give me an answer. I am sorry I did not lead him to an answer that fit everyone. I feel if you know something, I do not need to lead you anywhere. He gave me a ruling on something in the spring and I did not ask a leading question. I asked him what the ruling was and he cleared it up.
Peace
