yep, that's the other exception

Then why mention it as a new rule?

well if the issue is over the use of the word "new" then it is a matter of semantics.

We've only had 1 cycle under these rules. I consider that still to be new. As opposed the previous decades, not counting conferences attempts at limits, of pretty much the same thing.

The "new" part of it is that we are just now seeing those rules, and their exceptions, on:
- the 85 limits
- walkons and scholarships (the subject matter of this thread)
- and grade risks (they are no longer worth the risk- tighten up kids!)

The new rules, and their 2 exceptions, were discussed at great length. It's not new information. You were part of many of those discussions. What many don't seem to get, and I wanted to point out, that we can give WOs scholarships at the 2 year mark and not count towards that at all, and that those rules (new or not) means that the limiting factor will now be the 25 most of the time, not the 85.

And frankly, I only wanted to talk about the WO part of it because it would relate to a 2* and the possible options for such a 2*, such as WO with scholarship with no impact on the 25 later.

ETA: I guess you are going to make me say it...
Don't be surprised if they ask him to take a PWO with a verbal promise of schollie after 2 years. It's a panic looking for a topic.
