It is not poorly worded at all and I think one of the drafters of the rules confirmed the intent is as worded. It is not pointless at all. It prevents a win from getting a drop. Also it prevents getting an extra 12 seconds delay. For example one could do a pipcount and then cube.

    • If you think the ABT dead-cube rule is poorly written, try the WBA dead-cube rule
