I heard about this, double checked all the pertinent rules, and then grinned ear to ear. I'll let you post the details, but I was definitely blown away by your creativity.

One interesting aspect of this game is that the canburglar wars didn't really start until the last day of the season (as predicted by many). A side effect of this is that the canburglar rules/corner cases/how rules would be enforced by inspectors and referees were not really tested until Championships. Harpoon guns, crossbows, tennis balls on strings, hundreds of pounds of spring force, loopholes - there was a little of everything.
