That should have been a penalty (no EC on the rack).

Now that I see what you are saying, it's much clearer. My confusion was that there are 2 rules that could be affected. 1 is what you've pointed out. The other is the "placement" of the exchange, if you will. The Q&A got to that yesterday. (If only they'd gotten to it before Week 1... Oh, well, can't be perfect.)
