Nice find Mike.
I did some searching of old handbooks to see when those words were added.

95-96 (and all prior editions): not clear, but seems to be implied.
97-98: (can't locate)
99-00 (and all subsequent editions): spelled out just as you noted.

You can get it directly from the NFHS.

Also, some State Association offfices also have the books. I'd try your state office first.

Thanks, Mike. Is it any more accurate than the manuals from your experience? What does it contain that makes it worth buying?

I like the handbook and I find it useful. It tries to explain the rules and the application of those rules in plain english.

I'm not sure to what "manuals" you are refering so I can't give an opinion on that.

The rule book, case book, etc.

Ah. The handbook is only published every other year so sometimes, the stuff it talks about doesn't apply after a rule change in a year it isn't published.

It is usually pretty accurate but it doesn't deal in the extreme details like the casebook. If anyone else gets the handbook, I am sure your comments would be welcome too.
