Well, I do now, but it wasn't made clear back when the ruling first came out. In fact, I seem to remember it was just the opposite during that first post-season, in that officials were specifically reminded to enforce the sportsmanship rules during Regionals. So, when did it change? How were officials notified? I don't recall seeing it on the IHSA website, and I certainly don't remember it being mentioned during pre-season rule interp meetings since then. Perhaps someone told Quincy HS that they can continue with their ceremony, but they neglected to tell the rest of us?

That's why I don't doubt you when you say the rules on tattoos no longer are in effect for us. It is a little frustrating when a change is made that recinds a prior ruling without an actual change in the rulebook or specific case play highlighting the change. So, is that an IHSA change, or an NFHS change? Since there is no specific change in the rules, where can I point to when someone asks what the current ruling actually is?
