I really don't understand why the GDC still does this... It's ridiculous for a strategy/design you put a ton of work into to be ruled illegal at your first competition because no one bothered to clarify what the rule actually meant. And why the heck can't they say if a design as described is illegal or not? If someone's bothering to ask, it's probably because the rules aren't clear.
I get that FIRST doesn't want to answer questions in the Q and A that could be answered by just reading the manual (like we do on CD), but why not actually clarify what's said in the manual, rather than referring us to what we had a question about?
