No rule to reference, but from a practical standpoint I expect the answer is no. Your whole rope, including knots must be less than 1" wide. If you put knots in the provided rope without getting it inspected*, there is no way to ensure that your rope follows that rule.


*on-field inspections are not allowed and you can't remove the provided ropes from the field
