I see no reason why this rule cannot be read two ways

We've been through this quite a few times. The ASA rule book is meant to communicate in a simple manner, not to be a book on a summer reading list.
It is also meant to give direction, not create obnoxious legalities that have nothing to do with the game on the field.
Go read MLB's book or the NCAA football book and see what you get when you want the rules written in the manner you suggest.
Read the words presented and I think it reads quite clearly.
Then again, that is just my opinion and I am NOT a lawyer or grammarian, but a simple hi skewl gratiate.
