If you kill the ball on an IF, you are possibly penalizing the offended team. It is extremely remote that would occur on an IDB.

I have no problem with the two rules and their respective effect.
Got it. The "effect" I thought you were referring to was "EFFECT:" in the rules.

I think I have the precedence thing clarified. Thanx folks.
