There was no rule change.
Just a wording change to help those umpires who were previously ruling incorrectly to now find it easier to rule correctly.
If the "new" wording is causing you to now rule correctly, and this ruling differs from what you would have done last year ... then it follows that you were ruling incorrectly LAST year, and this wording change has got you to rule correctly.
So I guess the wording change worked for you.
