This.

I am pretty sure every single major sports rule book (and every rule book written in imitation) has a clause in there somewhere about "Interpretation of the specific meanings of each rule and the specific application to specific situations is under control of the governing body," or some such similar clause which basically means, "we wrote the darn rule book, and whenever we want, we will rewrite it."

"Force Majeur," or whatever they choose to call it ... "in response to unforeseeable circumstances and uncontrollable situations we were forced to invoke Rule 0000 which is printed in .25-point type between two lines on the last page, which states that the rule book is only a suggestion."
