The GDC is of course the final say on this but I am betting they won't be able to render a decision (those of us here either) simply on the statement of the question above. We all want you to play the entire match.
Thanks for your quick response! We just thought it would be cool to try to separate our drive base into two parts for things like balancing, ect. The parts could be connected by a strongly re-enforced cable above 30 inches, not just a piece of twine or something. Think that could be legal?
