crossing the bridge

I do not believe there is any rule against it, however in my opinion it is not using FIRST's spirit of Gracious Professionalism by holding it down and blocking it. Hope that helps.

There is no rule about holding the bridge (as long as you don't grasp, grab, grapple, etc.). Of course, you can't touch your opponent's bridge.
