I never said what you imply. Our team believes it violates the rule on grappling. However, I also clearly stated that is only our opinion.

I never said that either. I stated that I personally believe it violates the rule on grappling. I said that many teams will be upset if it is ruled legal.

And that is exactly the point I made. Unlike pretty much every other year, this question has been asked fairly clearly since week 1 of the build season. The GDC has avoided answering it indirectly and directly because of their refusal to deal with hypotheticals. I do not understand their reticence and refusal to clarify this rule. It's like they are DARING teams to take the chance, so that they can spring a surprise answer on FIRST during the first week of competitions. I'm sure that's not their intent, but that's where this is leading.
