Oh, I get that. But are "directions, memos, etc." not appearing in the rule book really subject to protest? Kind of hard to protest the misinterpretation of a playing rule when it isn't a playing rule.
The rule covering protests specifically says that there must be a misapplication of
these rules, obviously refering to the actual "rule book rules".
Ultimately, I suppose the league can rule on anything in any manner they choose. It's their ballgame!
