(I hope this is right... It's been a long time )

I can see this being correct... I believe that for safety sake this rule was made... and knowing FIRST they will enforce this very heavily. (Since Dean and the gang put so much emphisis on it in the kickoff)

P.S. Scroll Throught the comp docs on usfirst.org they will probabally demonstrate what can and can't be done.... although I am sure you will see many clarifications to this rule in updates... (I would guess in the first 3)
