I wouldn't say more rules, just more specific rules. Things that were in the gray area last year are specifically allowed or not allowed now. This will allow for better continuity between regionals. Over all I think it is better. It isn't fun to compete one weekend with out problems only to have to change things a couple of weeks later to adapt to different interpretations of the rules.
