Martin, Eric, et al,

The problem is that FIRST did not publish a search-able, consolidated Q&A this year and most events did not have internet access available to the inspectors.

If a team presented a Q&A to support their claim to legality, it was accepted. However, if an inspector "remembered" seeing a Q&A stating something was illegal, the LRI was forced to rule in favor of the team.

As an inspector, similar rule "violations" happened to me twice in FL and I was forced to let the violations go in favor of the teams because the rules did not expressly forbid it.
