Actually, a coach on eteamz noticed this - I just blatently stole it.

A good example of why editor
s (plural) would be required - I didn't leave it out intentionally, and it helps (IMO) clarify the steal scenario.
Mike,
I understand the rules evolve rather than are written all at once, and that leads to some odd phraseology, some seeming contradictions, and (as in this case) some logical holes or inconsistencies.
Apart from a formal rule change (where the meaning of the rule is changed, or a new rule is added or an old one deleted), is there no provision in the way the rule book is handled under the by-laws or whatever for editorial clarifications (no change in meaning)?
It seems that it would be good if the person or committee in charge of the rule book would have the authority to re-write for clarity or simplicity or aid in understanding without requiring a vote by all the delegates.
But, maybe that is what POEs and case plays are for.
