I don't understand why the GDC can't make this simple and say 'If it moves as one assembly and is connected at some point to make it one assembly, then it is considered a single appendage.' Would make early events much less hellish than they will be if the rule is not clarified.

I whole heartedly agree with you!! Many initial designs for ball catchers were using surgical tubing "whips" to grab the balls. Unless these designs were totally within the frame perimeter - not even the ends of the tubing can be beyond the perimeter now - they are now illegal because the contiguous portion of the mechanism would not be beyond the perimeter.
