[Rules] 8.4 Elevation makes no sense to me

[vince hughes]

Hmm, so the OBA question is actually still not clearly resolved?

Russ,

Its up to you isn't it.

There is little resolving to do here as you claim. The rule number quotes in previous posts quite clearly tell you what you can do. If you read them otherwise then play that way. I can assure you, in playing 10, 11 or 12 live opponents, not one has tried to play it your way at all.
