Completely freaking ridiculous!
That's true, but it's not MY interpretation. That is the way the rules currently read. I agree that result is ridiculous.

However, what is even more ridiculous is YOU stating that, but failing to cite some other rule which governs that situation. You can't do it because you know that there isn't another one that applies. You could only point to 2-3.

This is a clear gap in the NFHS rules and should be fixed.
