Yeah. I agree.

Some on the live broadcast, many of whom are pretty good with rules, disagreed due to the phrase "as soon as".

Some suggested that the substitution of "first" by "next" in the actual rule language might help with the interpretation of the rule.

A few believed that the pass must be in flight at the moment when A3 returned inbounds for there to be a violation.
