Rules Interpretation Requests

This portal is designed for state administrators to submit a request for assistance with national rule interpretations from NFHS Sport and Activity Rules Books.

This is not an open link and requests submitted outside of the state association will not be answered

Each state high school association adopting these rules is the sole and exclusive source of binding rules interpretations for contests involving its member schools. Any person having questions about the interpretation of NFHS rules should contact the rules interpreter designated by his or her state high school association. The NFHS is the sole and exclusive source of model interpretations of NFHS rules. State rules interpreters may contact the NFHS for model rules interpretations. No other model rules interpretations should be considered.
