I have been a rule interpreter for my association and I can tell you the job would be much easier if the rule book was cleaned up as to grammar and consistency. As an official, I prefer to use my subjectivity as to how much contact should be called, advantage/disadvantage, etc. as opposed to trying to interpret a rule that is poorly written.
