| Proposed Rule Change (edited) | USAP Rules Committee: Once the end change point has been scored, a technical foul resulting in the loss of a point for the serving team shall have no impact on the completion of the end change. |
| Proposed Rule Change | 5.B.7. After the end change has started, a technical foul resulting in the loss of a point for the serving team shall have no impact on the completed end change. |
| Original Rule Text | 5.B.7. After the end change has occurred, a technical foul resulting in the loss of a point for the serving team shall have no impact on the completed end change. |
| Reasoning Behind Suggested Change | Suggestion: Change the wording in 5B7 to the following: Reason: The current wording uses a past tense structure which implies that once the end change HAS occurred, any TF point penalty shall have no impact. It leaves the debate door open that a TF committed before the end switch is finished, will have an impact. This change removes any possible debate. |
