Panda,
The experimental DP rule that Fed is using is identical to the DP rule that both ASA and NCAA use. There is a single word that is changed - Fed calls the defensive player the "Flex" player, ASA calls this player the "DEFO", and NCAA calls this player the "Tenth" player. If Fed does make this a permanent change for 2004, both ASA and NCAA have agreed to change their verbage to match Fed's - or so I'm told.

There are 4 states that are using this experimental rule, but I understand that over 40 states supported it at last year's Fed meetings. The 4 states are, AZ, IN, NM, and Pa. I've even heard that the head Fed baseball guy likes it so much that it is being considered for baseball.
