"A player or team should not be permitted an advantage which is not intended by a rule." - The Intent and Purpose of the rules.
Is that the best you got?
Need I say that putting the ball in play in A's front court gives A a distinct advantage (not intended by a rule) as opposed to putting the ball in play in A's backcourt?
