Lots of range in between. Merely "being Velcro" doesn't make a rope illegal - it has to follow all of the other rules though.
Besides, if they say "Velcro is legal" then what about hook-and-loop?

I'm really quite excited to see what teams come up with with the doors blasted wide open on the rope rules. There are a lot of valid directions to go, some of them involving Velcro/HAL, some not.
