Here are a couple of rules that might need some clarification and certainly need to be changed in the rule book.
14.4 Special Rules for 4v4 Play
Rule: "On a second consecutive pass, if the puck goes to an empty position, treat it as an interception"
Clarification: It takes three passes to create a shot when playing even strength [12.1 Pass Shots]. Because there can be a third pass, the rule should read "On a second or subsequent consecutive pass, if the puck goes to an empty position, treat it as an interception."
Rule: "Ignore rules for Blocked Shots and Screeners."
Clarification: A better wording for this might be "Shots may not be blocked or screened."
14.5 Special Rules for 3v3 Play
Rule: "On a second consecutive pass, if the puck goes to an empty position, treat it as an interception"
Clarification: This is not possible when playing 3v3. Pucks that go to the LD instead go to the LW; for the RD it's the RW. This rule should be removed.
Rule: "Ignore rules for Blocked Shots, Screeners, and Clearing."
Clarification: A better wording for this might be "Shots may not be blocked or screened. Rebound shots may not be cleared."
That last one means that, yes, an R result is (almost) automatically two shots when playing 3v3. (A rebound is interrupted by F?2, FX, FXn or PS2 results.)
