It's a Federation of State HS Associations. Will the NFHS throw a state out who interprets differently? I've not heard of any such thing.
But if you wish to "win" this "academically" rather than acknowledge that a state can really do anything it wants, feel free. You "win." You and Tee can high five or whatever it is you two do all you wish.

Wow. How times have changed.
As a mutual friend often advises, "words have meaning." If you don't want people to respond to the words you use, use other ones.
The question was whether or not FED permits states to alter interpretations. They do not.
Now if your position is they do so anyway, I would suggest they do not do so formally nor on purpose, as they do when they modify or add rules, but rather through a lack of understanding.
