Period.
Thanks T. I didn't realize it was this bad.

My problem - that interpretation represents a rule change since it is contradictory to 8-4-1-g-1 as well as the case play Bob mentioned. It is like "interpreting" the batter walks after three balls.

Can they do that without some sort of official process?

NCAA did it this year too, by "clarifying" that you must demonstrate voluntary release after a tag. While they're not in a rule cycle...that clarification is pretty much a rule change.
