Looks like they were wrong  |
Keep in mind that the Q&A is not the rules. Refs may use it as guidelines and base their calls on it, but there is no requirement that they follow the Q&A interpretation. As it stands it's still technically the Head Ref's decision, however shaky that logic may be
That being said, it's likely that if we had known about this Q&A ahead of time we would have brought it to the head ref's attention. Unfortunately this one slipped by us, and we were not anticipating the ruling at DC. I can't speak for anyone at CT who may or may not have known about this Q&A.
At this point I'm really hoping the GDC sees fit to address this in the next rule update so that it is consistent from here on out.
