IMO, I think the reason they have such poor grammar and run-on sentences is so they can cut down on the number of pages they have to print, which will save them some money.

I doubt that's the reason. Writing always shrinks with good editing. When I edit an article for a medical journal, the text usually shrinks 10 to 15 percent. In other words, 10 pages shrink to 9 or even 8½.

I would rather have a rule book that is spaced out properly with the rules clearly worded than have a crammed up rule book that saves me $4.

I agree 100%.

the runner could literally tackle the F5

That would be willful and deliberate interference and a double play.
