So long as the Q&As are not in the rule book, they really don't help that much. My brother might bring the Q&As to a tournament, but I never have.

Nonetheless,

The rule that a TD cannot limit the players to only using the drop zone for o.b. is not in rule book. Unfortunately, the rule book still says that the TD can limit the players' options.

The rule that you do not take the 2-meter penalty if you also take an optional rethrow is not in the rule book. It is hinted at in the commentary after the rules, but even there it is not explicit.

The rule that you do or do not take the two meter penalty if you take line-of-play relief is not in the rule book, and given the situation with the 2-meter penalty and the optional rethrow, I would not know which way to guess at the answer.

I'm not being argumentative. I'm just trying to figure out what the new rules are, and it is not obvious as to those three rules just from reading the rule book.
