Preface
 (Version 5.0)In 2005, FINA (Federation Internationale de Natation) adopted a number of new waterpolo rules. These new rules have been adopted in their entirety by USA Water Polo(USAWP), and many of the rules have also been adopted by the National CollegiateAthletic Association (NCAA) and the National Federation of State High SchoolAssociations (NFHS). Thus, these new rules are now used in virtually all water polocompetitions, and
A Spectator’s Guide to Water Polo 
has been re-written to conformwith and include appropriate references to these new rules.All rule numbers and figures in this version of the
Guide 
have been updated to conformto the most current versions of the rules. These include the 2005-2009 USAWP rules,the 2006-2007 NCAA rules, and the 2006-2007 NISCA rules.Finally, I have moved all files to a new server. An electronic file (.pdf) of Version 5.0 ofthe
