It was a misinterpretation of the rules Jim, because when it was published, it was specifically to adhere to the rules.
Anyway, I think it's been cleared up.
In terms of looking at the rules, around 6-7 years ago when I was something akin to Junior rep on the MRAG, I was asked to look at the rules, and rewrote them.
I didn't receive any feedback, positive or negative, so I don't think I'll be going down that route again
