along with the 25 points thing...

I think you'd end up with a yellow card pretty quickly if you did this - repeatedly violating a rule.
T03. Egregious or repeated violations of any rule or procedure is prohibited.
Violation: The Head REFEREE may assign a YELLOW CARD as a warning, or a RED CARD for
DISQUALIFICATION in MATCH.

That's EXACTLY what I meant by the "giving your opponents 25 points". Thank you for making my case for me.

60 points to you for a rotor vs 25 points to your opponent is a very tempting tradeoff, y'see?

I mean, it's tempting if you enjoy getting yellow cards. T03 is an important rule.

Yeah - you likely would get away with it ONCE in the early regionals - better make it count - but I suspect at later tournaments the yellow cards would fly.

Then again, is that REALLY in the spirit of Gracious Professionalism?
