They have arrived in SC!

[bossman72]

Did they fix Rule 10 or is that dumb chart still there?

Can't tell you, I haven't picked them up yet!

Rule 10-4-7 (following a change of possession which are committed)
Rule 10-4-8 (following a change of possession)

Table 10-4 "This table is not intended to encompass all fouls and possible options, but to focus on certain fouls that occur during running plays"

Points of Emphasis addresses Player Equipment and Enforcement: Interesting

Did they finally change intentional grounding to where only the player receiving the snap can dump the ball away?

Yes.

R2-33-16

A second sentence was added "A player is no longer defenseless once the player's physical position and focus of concentration longer makes the player especially vulnerable to injury"

Makes it judgement call by the calling official.

Perhaps a typo?

Oops sorry left on no   "A player is no longer defenseless once the player's physical position and focus of concentration no  longer makes the player especially vulnerable to injury"

That added sentence is a waist of space! A player can get hurt regardless of being defenseless or not! It's always been a judgement call!

When reading the 2024 R10 Sec4 Art 2b "See 10-5-5 for special enforcement on roughing the passer"
My book doesn't have 10-5-5. It end with R10 Sec5 Art 3  Next page is the table 10-4
 10-5- Arts 4, 5 &6 are gone.

That misses the point of the added sentence.  The purpose is to better define defenseless player.  We ALWAYS have the option of calling an Unnecessary Roughness penalty (UNR) if in our judgement the contact is excessive and/or dangerous.

Have to believe that is an editing mistake when setting up the book to be printed.  There are no changes listed for those 2 sections in the NFHS memo listing 2024 rules changes.  Maybe Ralph knows if they should still be there?
