You really need to read both in order to have a fuller understanding of not only the actual rules but their intended use and interpretation. In a general sense, think of the rules as the theory and the approved rulings as examples of the theory put into practice. That said, as Thiesy said, going over 9-1-2, there isn't anything in the rules prohibiting this it seems. 9-1-3 would be closer but still not exact.

This brings me to the definition of ramming. Where is ramming defined? Is ramming defined as leading with the face mask?
I don't think you'll find ramming specifically defined in the rules. The standard English definition should suffice.
