Is this wording of which blindofficial speaks in the 2007 book? I don't have any book that says this.

Anyway, they could have just punctuated in correctly, and worded it this way:

"If on offense, the player is ejected, and declared out unless he has already scored." Just place the comma where it belongs.

In my 2005 rule book, it says under PENALTY for 3-3-1n, "the ejected player is declared out, unless he has already scored." This makes sense also.
