Realizing it the LRI at the competition that will be making the ultimate call...
When using a "flow control valve" as a "blocking valve" it ceases being a "flow control valve" and is no longer legal. While not even predicting if the GDC would answer a question about this, the logic is similar to what they used in the past.
Using a quick connect fitting is a good idea, but they are essential check valves which are not legal. Of course if it is considered to be an integral part of an legally allowed connecting fitting...
