1) First, decide whether the contact is incidental or illegal. Even contact with a moving elbow above the shoulders can be incidental (but it would be extremely rare for it to be incidental if the elbows were being Excessively Swung -- as defined in the book).
2) If the contact is illegal, then:
a) Stationary, above the shoulders: Common
b) Stationary, below the shoulders: Common
c) Moving, above the shoulders: Intentional
d) Moving, below the shoulders: Common
e) Excessively Swung, above the shoulders: Flagrant*
f) Excessively Swing, below the shoulders: Intentional
Any of the above can be "upgraded" of course, if you think the situation warrants.
* -- The rule, I think, really just says "intentional", but I'd be hard pressed not to have this as flagrant
(Stationary means just that; it does NOT include "pivoting at the same speed as the hips")
