[QUOTE="Brandon2k, post: 1032129, member: 84420"] No disrespect to anyone in the legal profession but laws (any laws not just 'rules'of a game) are written in legalese. And again no disrespect but any dispute In the interpretation of such laws are usually decided based on the arguments of opposing lawyers at a very expensive hearing. Interpretation of statute keeps a lot of people globally employed. And it may sound pedantic but if rules were written in 'plain English' more people and more importantly more participants will understand them and enjoy the game more. My Mrs is forever asking why Certain situations were penalised during a game and although I can generally say what was contravened I usually cannot state with confidence why such a rule was in place. And the more people that understand a game the less likely the controversy. [/QUOTE]
