2011 BRD had this as a strike no matter where the pitch was delivered. I think FED might have removed some confusing caseplays in the interim.

They changed 7-3-1 maybe 10 years ago now to add "and delays the game" but didn't make the corresponding change in 6-2-4. They did come out with some "memo" (I forget the exact format) that indicated it would be changed, but here we sit...

Bob thanks for the historical information on this. I may bring this up to our state interpreter and see if he wants to nominate the change.

I'm using the 2012 & 2013 BRD and it states the same thing.

I don't know how Chris handled this situation but I'll be interested to see how he did.
