I just went through the updates from 2008 and didn't see any game-changing rules changes, but thought someone might remember if something like that occured.

There was no update or rule change. They ensured their hurdling mechanism (suction cup drop pickup) was a legal hurdle through Q&A. However, it always was a <G22> violation (as the line extends through the wall and their arm crosses in a reverse direction) and a penalty, it just wasn't interpreted as a <G22> by refs at their 2 Regionals. By Championships, it was clarified as a <G22> violation and an 8pt hurdle isnt worth a 10pt penalty.
