Granted, caseplays disappear as old rules are changed, but are we to ignore the ones that hang around?

Some caseplays disappear with no explanation (which is probably what Rich is talking about). Were they removed because they were no longer valid, or were they removed because of space considerations? "Ay there's the rub" (Hamlet', Act 3 Scene 3, Billy Shakespeare).

Just because a Casebook Play is not in the current Casebook does not invalidate it. Far too many officials take the attitude that if it isn't in the current Casebook is does not exist or is no longer valid which is 100% incorrect.

If a casebook play is removed due to a rule change, or a new interpretation, then, of course, it's no longer valid.

If a casebook play is removed due to space considerations, then it's still valid.

Figuring out why the caseplay was removed, often with no explanation from the NFHS, is the hard part. "Ay there's the rub"
