However, the mechanics also state that the chain should be clipped on a 1st-and-Goal situation. Why would this need to be done when there won't be any chance for a measurement, and the chains are set down anyways?
Keep reading...where does it say that the chain should be clipped in the "goal-to-go" situation? When you get the answer it'll confuse you even more, because I don't know of any practical application of this mechanic.
