自2007年2月1日起,D.C. 上诉法院修改了D.C. 这是自1月1日《靠谱的足球滚球平台》生效以来最全面的一次修订, 1991. 尽管绝大多数的意见是由D.C. 在修订后的规则生效日期之前的靠谱的滚球平台职业道德委员会(“委员会”)基本上不受修订的影响, there are some that simply no longer provide complete guidance in light of the recent changes. 这很关键, 因此, 任何从委员会意见中寻求指导的人都应特别注意自该意见发表以来《靠谱的足球滚球平台》或《靠谱的滚球平台》在相关方面发生变化的可能性. Some of the changes are “non-substantive,” such as the renumbering of a Rule section or a Comment. 在这种情况下, 委员会的意见仍然有效, even though a particular citation to a Rule or a Comment may no longer be consistent with the current version. The Committee urges anyone consulting an opinion to read it in light of the revised 规则 and Comments. 在下表中, 委员会确定了这些意见, 在它的判断中, 受到经修订的《靠谱的足球滚球平台》的实质影响:
