Additional Information: This incorporation of the 6/10/08 official interpretation into the Division III Manaul clarifies the application of the recruiting contact legislation with respect to multiple day tournaments not conducted on consecutive days and extended road trips. Because of the frequent nature of such events, the interpretation warrants inclusion in the Manual.
