Casebook 3-4-2 Sit B rules False.

However, within the Rules Book, I do not see the word "apex" mentioned in 3-4-2a as it is in 3-4-2d, when specifically describing manufacturers logo requirements.
Couldn't the "apex" of the neckline still be no more than 5 inches below the shoulder seam on the front of jersey?
Granted it would be a tight fit, as in an extra-small girls jersey.
However, now I feel I am splitting hairs.

Nonetheless, I went with the Casebook ruling and answered False.

Thanks,

Rule 3-4-2

d. A school or conference logo/mascot may be located at the apex/opening of the neckline or above it, in the corresponding area on the back of the jersey and/or in either side insert.

My question refers to "manufacturer's logo" 3-4-2a,
as oppossed to "school or conference logo/mascot" as mentioned in 3-4-2d.
The word "apex" only appears in 3-4-2d.

However, what if that apex is within 5 inches of the sleeve seam...?

Splittin' hairs, I know...

Thanks,
