Existing Rule #3.A.15
Proposed Rule Change

3.A.15  Hindrance – Any transient element or occurrence…

Original Rule Text

3.A.15 Hinder – Any transient element or occurrence...

Reasoning Behind Suggested Change

The word  “hinder” is a verb, not a noun.  Therefore it can’t be defined as any transient element or occurrence…, both of which are nouns.  There is no such thing as a hinder.

The word “hindrance” is the noun, is not a verb and is the correct word.
