I must be misinterpreting this by-law

Am I misreading this By-Law from the ABA by-laws?

A restricted player is:

A player who averaged greater than 25% of available court time in the NBL or a player who has averaged less than 35% of available court time in the WNBL.

I read this as...a women's player who has averaged less than 35% of available court time in the WNBL (less than 14 minutes/game) then they are considered restricted? Logic tells me this is wrong but I am struggling to see another way to read the By-Law.

The Men's is straight forward more the 25% of the minutes but the women have me stumped

Can anyone confirm or clarify

Restricted players are determined by BA

The list appears on the wnbl website I believe.
This year it was 20 mins.

Shouldn't it read...
A restricted player is:

A player who averaged greater than 25% of available court time in the NBL or a player who has averaged more than 35% of available court time in the WNBL.

I think it's a typo......if you read the lower points about current player eligibility (7.4) it is clarified as greater than 35% for women currently playing in the WNBL.

I'd say they changed the wording to "greater than" but missed the second half of the sentence.
