removing forward grips from rifle during a match

[Vlad]

Reading the rule book I found:

5.1.1.1 A rifle is considered to be the combination of a specific caliber, barrel,

stock or grip, sighting system, and fixed magazine or magazine tube if

applicable. Competitors must not reconfigure any firearm (i.e., change

caliber, barrel, muzzle brakes/compensator/flash hiders, butt stock,

forend, sighting system (including scopes, magnifiers, etc), fixed magazine

or magazine tube) during the course of a match.

but then I also found:

5.1.10.1 Chokes, slings, bi-pods, monopods, ammo/mag holders, and

flashlights may be added or removed at any time during the

match, providing that they are allowed in the competitor's division.

Anyone know where forward grips, AFG's, hand stops, etc fall into these rules?
