I don't like this loophole, personally.

Metagaming of this sort does not strike me as particularly "graciously professional," especially when it potentially involves dishonesty.
Agreed.

I feel this whole idea goes against the spirit of FIRST, and I hope the GDC does something to prevent it. I personally am done reading it, and hope that teams focus on making themselves the best, rather than ruining the chances of a team that has worked hard to get to high ranked spot.
