Thats funny... we did that too and had no troubles with the inspectors (although while they were inspecting it, we were replacing all the connections with better ones)

We were also told by the inspectors that any electrical contacts that were exposed (such as on the victors) had to be covered somehow, and he recommended electrical tape (which is legit).

I have to say that (after the competition) I wish the refs would make the same calls during the qualifying matches as they would in the elimination. Theres no reason to become stricter... in fact, it only ruins the play. If they were to be strict always, then it would be easy to learn how to avoid those situations.

Oh, and my least favorite rule was the 10 pt penalty for the human player stepping on the line....
