Everything in the Q&A is part of the official rules. Our team had to consult the Q&A at the Championship last year during inspection regarding the 100" rectangle I think and the inspectors changed their minds after seeing the Q&A. In our situation, the Q&A information was simply a clarification to a somewhat ambiguous rule, which is the same situation being debated regarding <G22>
