You are correct that the rule is not stated in this year's USIC info. I don't have any previous info sheets to see if it was ever a written rule. I just know that in my early years at USIC I was forcefully told that if I touched another person's model in flight I would be disqualified from that event. I assumed that was still the rule.

  When did this "rule" go into effect? The steering rules clearly state
  what is to happen:

  "If other models are fouled by the steerer, the fouled competitor has
  the choice of a substitute flight, which, if taken, is his score for
  that round. He must exercise this choice to his timekeepers not later
  than two (2) minutes after termination of his flight. If he chooses to
  restart, he must do so before his next official flight"
