Abstract
We provide a new proof of Cachazo-Svrček-Witten rules for tree-level gluonic amplitudes. As a key step, we explicitly demonstrate the cancellation of spurious poles originating from the maximally helicity violating vertices in these rules. To achieve this, we introduce specially-defined two-off-shell-line sub-amplitudes and examine their residues at spurious poles.
