The second, other sons have no rights as per this list. Are they not allowed at all?

I understood this too - other sons are allowed in rare, unchangeable circumstances only. There is a handover of the kartha permanently in very specific instances, but otherwise fruits reach the pithru only if the valid Kartha does the rituals.
There is no mention of other sons or sons-on-law on above list at all!

Son in law is mentioned in the list 36 but no way the other sons are listed. So only after varushabthigam they are entitled to do every year ceremoney!?

Brahmanartham.
The Tamil Brahmin culture is replete with n number of rituals when a person passes away. Unfortunately, today the very same rituals are being commercially exploited by Tamil Brahmin priests who lust after earning a few quick bucks. Some of them claim to have learnt the vedas in "sankara matam"...
