Technically, the rules change at every convention because each convention votes in a new set of rules. Just like each Congress votes on a new set of rules.

So, did the Louisiana delegate rules change recently, or were they in place since long before the primaries started?

Except that, technically, the last convention sets the rules on how the delegates will be won in the primaries prior to the next convention. Then, conveniently, the next convention gets to change the rules on how they're counted.
