With this being posted on the ASA web site, I have a different call between 2006 and 2007.
I don't like the new call, but it is not consistent with "The calls should not be different, just better worded."

I'm not sure why it is not being sold as a rule change, when it most definately is a change. Intentional meant "on purpose" in application. No longer is that a fact, if the O player acts causing INT, its interference.
It's a change. No doubt about it.
