I believe some teams were able to find products labeled "sheeting" instead of "tape" and skirt the rule.

We had to go through the drill last year. We used a 3M product called adhesive tread. We had to bring the box to the inspector to prove that the word "tape" was no where on the box. We were ready to do this after floating the issue through the GDC Q&A.
I'm happy to see the rule changed this year but it would be nice to see a prohibition for duck tape.
