The NFHS has made changes to Appendix B in the swimming rule book, but the folks at the UIL aren't budging. Read more here.
The “suggested” protocol for the use of electronic relay take off pads in Appendix B has been altered. However, for the forthcoming competition season, the established UIL protocol will be used.
Pressured last year by high school coaches, the UIL (almost) met us in the middle. Catch up here (Article II).
In her final letter to coaches as TISCA president (read it here), Lubbock ISD diving coach Penny DiPomazio let swim coaches know where they stand:
The NFHS has made some clarifications concerning rules. These clarifications will be posted on the TISCA website and are also available at the end of this letter. If you still have some questions concerning rules please contact Frank Swigon for swimming or me for diving.
Thank you for your support..

in what way was the appendix altered - a good way?
yes, it was reworded so the system can save a relay if two officials make a dq call but the pad/take-off platform show it was legal.
If the electronic relay judging equipment indicates values of 0.00 through +0.09 seconds there shall not be a rules violation, and the observations of the takeoff judges is not considered.
So if that is the NFHS rules then why would UIL go against it?
doesn't make sense, does it?
do they ignore nfhs rules/changes in other sports?
