Beats me, I did not write it, I just quoted it.

Having said that, a CD is free to do just about anything they want as 
long as it does no effect safety. All they have to do is put it in the 
sanction application, get it approved, and publish that variance at 
least 30 days prior to the contest.

BTW - many say that F3A is not an AMA class however it is listed as one 
of the five pattern classes which in my mind does in fact define it as 
an AMA pattern class:

7. Pattern event classes: The Pattern event shall be divided into five 
(5) classes. The first four (4) shall (in order of increasing 
difficulty) be referred to as Sportsman, Intermediate, Advanced, and 
Masters. The fifth class shall be referred to as the FAI class.
