To me this statement allows the use of a spotting network. It does not talk
about spotting or specifically self spotting so then the General rule would
still apply and self spotting would not be allowed.

It also says the rules for a specific contest override the general rules,
which is one of the rules George quoted.
Does that mean the statement for SOA and multi-ops in the actual ARRL DX
Contest rules
"2.2.1.Use of spotting assistance or nets (operating arrangements involving
other individuals, DX-alerting nets, packet, etc) not physically located at
the station IS permitted." can be interepted that you CAN self spot ??
Especially the part about "operating arrangements involving other
individuals"
