It seems to me that the latest revision is contradicting it self.
B states that if you have a throw that misses the mandatory, you get a penalty, but A says that you haven't missed the mandatory if you just cross the line again going the opposite way in a sequence of throws. So apparently you are now allowed to "rewind"? But the line is crossed in reference to the previous lie, how does that allow for a "sequence of throws"? What lie is the previous lie in a sequence?
And also, the basket has to be on the "correct" side of the line, so no horseshoes/U-shaped holes, or doglegs greater that 90 degrees. (Unless the mandatory line is marked and takes this into account)
804.02 Prohibited Routes
A. A throw has missed a mandatory if, from the direction of the previous lie, it completely crosses a mandatory line and comes to rest without coming back across the line (a throw or sequence of throws that crosses the line in both directions is considered not to have crossed the line).
B. A player who makes a throw that misses a mandatory receives one penalty throw. The lie for the next throw is the drop zone for that mandatory or, if no drop zone has been designated, the previous lie.
