I take it that you mean there is no fix-it "window" - one can do whatever they need, whenever. *
I disagree, in that there needs to be limits on how much teams can do during the competition season - otherwise teams going to the NJ regional (1st week) have a disadvantage over teams going to, say Manhattan (5th? week) - specifically, 5 extra weeks on which to perfect a mechanism that was only conceived after the team actually got to see the Game being played.
The argument that learning never ceases is, in this case, eclipsed by the need for a level playing field.
Not a fact, just my opinion.
