metal toe plates

Question: Rule 2 Section 4 Shoes: In all divisions 14 and under and younger, Metal cleats and metal toe plates are prohibited. This is understandable. However, in divisions which metal cleats are allowed the toe plate must be securely fastened. Last year 15U and older were allowed metal cleats and toe plates.
In this years Clarification & Interpretation Topics Version 5, page 27, Pitcher's Uniform - A pitcher may not wear a metal toe plate on her shoe.
This appears to be inconsistent with the rule.

Answer: Unfortunately I just forgot to update the Clarification & Interpretation last year when we change the metal cleat/toe plate rule.
In any inconsistency the Rule Book takes precedence.
