Re: Knots in the rope?

Quote:
I04. ROPES have to be inspected. A Team must submit any ROPE they intend to use in a MATCH for Inspection. A ROPE must meet the following criteria:
A. have a maximum width of 1 in. (nominal) (e.g. exclusive of any knot widths)

Rope nominal width is 1", knots don't count. Although I expect excessive knots will be frowned upon.

I don't see anything in the rules about being limited to a single custom rope. The wording of replacing 1 rope with your own rope suggests you can't hand an extra custom rope to an ally and have them put it on the field for you, but I don't see anything that would limit you to multiple inspected ropes in your inventory.

I think I'd kind of prefer inspecting someone's entire supply of ropes all at once instead of a rushed inspection of a replacement rope in the middle of Elims, honestly.
