Walt - did the NJSIAA go over this in your rules interp meeting back in August? It wasn't mentioned in ours and it's clear what they are saying but somehow I believe they botched something. That's not a rule edit, it's a rule change and it's in line with the NCAA rules.

I asked Bob M. to reply. He's from the North Chapter. I'm interested what his interp is on this one.

I don't necessarily disagree with you but if I had this during the season I would have not given the other team the option. I may be incorrect.

One thing I do know is a new rule that Bob M. and his peers from the north put in they (meaning he fed) botched the ruling in their publication there so it wouldn't surprise me if they did here as well. It'll be interesting what they put in there for 2008.
