It shouldn't vary, though, and that's my point. Q&A answered exactly what I thought, that 2v1 defence should not generally be considered blockading for the purposes of G25. Seems to me like the Head Ref at Waterloo was overstepping his bounds by calling G25 so aggressively.

Grand scheme of things, its too late to change now, and I don't recall any matches that were decided by a G25 (typically, the ones they were called in were blowouts anyway), but the point is that all calls should be consistent from event to event, and it should be consistent with the interpretation provided from Q&A/The Manual, if one exists.
