Conference Call No. 17
August 10, 2005

Acting for the Division I Management Council, the Division I Legislative Review/ Interpretations Committee issued the following interpretation:

Recruiting/Tournament
Evaluations

1. Evaluations at Multiple-Day Events. The committee confirmed that during the academic year evaluations at a multiple-day event (for example, jamboree, round-robin, showcase) constitute separate evaluations for each day (as opposed to a single evaluation for the event), unless the event is conducted in a tournament format (that is, a winner of the event is determined). [References: NCAA Bylaws 13.1.6.5 (counting contacts and evaluations), 13.1.8 (limitations on number of evaluations -- all sports), 13.1.8.7 (on same day) and 13.1.8.14 (tournament evaluations).]
