Re: Team Update #5 Posted

If that amendment is made to <R106>, the inconsistency will disappear, because the non-purchased ex-KOP Parkers will become explicitly illegal.

Wrong. Read all of Rule <R105> and Rule <R106>, carefully. Now read it again. Now read it again. Don't analyze it seventeen times. Don't try to read between the lines. Don't insert your own interpretation of what hidden meaning might be there. Just read the words. There is no inconsistency. There is no conflict between the rules. You are finding fault where there is none. If you still think there is a conflict, then post a question to the Q&A system and get an official response from FIRST on the subject. But you need to stop poosting incorrect interpretations of the rules and misleading other teams.
