JMO, my answer to you, and I'll go real slow hoping that you might actually comprehend it:
The POE's are IN the rulebook! POE's are issued by the NFHS Rules Committee and they are issued to give officials guidance as to how they want certain rules called. POE's are not issued in newsletters. POE's can be found right after Rule 10 in every rulebook. Whatever is written in a POE is regarded as being a legal ruling of the NFHS rulesmakers.
It's true, it's true......
I know that you probably won't believe me, so how about this? Phone around and see if you can find a real, live high school official who actually owns an NFHS rulebook. Do NOT try to find one in your rec leagues. They don't use them there. If you are lucky enough to find a real, live high school official who owns an NFHS rule book, ask them if they will open the book and show you what a POE actually looks like. Please don't try to find the POE's yourself though. You have to go to work in the morning.
Good luck!
