Some years ago the ARRL Contest Committee asked for opinions regarding rewording that rule. Unfortunately, I see the confusion still exists with whatever language they settled upon.

Here is the background regarding the intent of the "off time" rule, from the originators of the contests, WS7I and WA7EGA (K7IRA):

I consider myself a "casual" participant, and had the same question
concerning  "The six hours of off time must be taken in no more than two
blocks" portion of the rules. I posed the question to the only person that
their opinion counts, W9JJ at ARRL. I failed to keep his answer, and for
fear of misquoting, I won't try to!
I suggest that questions regarding rules be posed to the contest sponsors,
and not rely on the varying opinions of the reflector subscribers.
