Rule 1-6-1 changes and placards

[bigjohn]

Sure looks like the rules changers messed that one up doesn't it. By removing the word electronic it does change the possibilities!

The rule now says still photographs, film, analog or digital video and or internet depictions shall not be used to communicate with a player except during an outside the 9 yard conference.


So are placards and other pictures or posters for signaling in plays now illegal?

Not in my game.

CT1 so you have an official document telling you to ignore the rule change??

It seems to me BJ you are assuming something is illegal because it is not specifically mentioned. This rule seems to say what is illegal for an electronic device (Ipad or tablet mostly). I think you are reading too much into the rule.

the rule specifically mentions pictures.

Rule 1-6

art.1

Communication devices including but not limited to audio recorder, LAN phones, and/or headsets, mobile phones, still photographs, film, analog or digital video and/or internet depictions, shall not be used to communicate with a player except during a outside the 9-yard mark conference.

The rule as it was presented to us was about the usage of an IPad or electronic version of pictures, not pictures in general. And that was the depiction on the NFHS Power Point as well. Never heard anyone suggest otherwise when I saw the presentation live and on video.
