Summary

Word-choice fixes that align a few stragglers with the terminology used everywhere else in the Regulations and prescribed by style-guide.md. No change in meaning.

Regulation(s) Change Basis
9l1, 9l1+, 11e+++++++, 11j2, 11i2b extra attempts "given"/"awarded" → "granted" style guide: "Grant an extra attempt instead of give or award"; the doc already uses "grant" everywhere else
9t+, 9t++, 9t4 "rule(s)" → "Regulation(s)" style guide: "Regulation instead of rule"
I1b "rank" (noun) → "ranking" style guide: "Ranking instead of rank"
9f2+, A6f1 "write down" → "record" style guide: "Record a result instead of write down"
A3c5, E2c2+, 11e2a "perform(ed)" → "apply"/"done" style guide: "Apply (moves) instead of perform"; 11e2a matches "the order in which attempts are done" used in A1a2++++++
4b2a "amount of scrambles" → "number of scramble sequences" "amount" with a countable noun; "scramble sequence" per style guide
4g2 inline "Multi-Blind Solving" → "3x3x3 Multi-Blind" matches the event name in 9b5, 9f2+, 11i1e

Align a handful of stragglers with the wording used throughout the
Regulations and prescribed by the style guide:

- Extra attempts are "granted", not "given"/"awarded"
  (9l1, 9l1+, 11e+++++++, 11j2, 11i2b)
- "rule(s)" -> "Regulation(s)" when referring to the Regulations
  (9t+, 9t++, 9t4); "venue rules" in 2f is left unchanged
- "rank" (noun) -> "ranking" (I1b)
- "write down" -> "record" (9f2+, A6f1)
- moves/attempts: "perform" -> "apply"/"done" (A3c5, E2c2+, 11e2a)
- "amount of scrambles" -> "number of scramble sequences" (4b2a)
- inline "Multi-Blind Solving" -> "3x3x3 Multi-Blind" (4g2); the
  Article H title keeps "Solving" per the style guide
