That's a pointless rule. Pointless rules are made to be shattered, and as long as you provide enough reason for doing so you are in the right.

To an extent, I would have to say that I disagree. Rules that are pointless should be removed, not ignored. I also wouldn't consider this rule pointless because it keeps the naming convention and scoring system simple. The naming convention allows the global scoring to be easily (re)calculated. The unified scoring system also helps with this and has the added benefit of keeping the challenges comparable (in terms of both builder skill and the weight of the challenge on the scoreboard). Every rule has a reason and if we allow people to ignore some, but not all of the rules, it is both hypocritical and confusing. If the rule was made to be broken then it wouldn't have been listed. The reason why it was kept after the rule change was because we had already gone through numerous scorekeepers since the first set of rules. Therefore, the point of enforcing a rule like this is to make their job easier. I agree that given enough reason some exceptions may be made but just stating that you want to do it your way is not enough. "The only way to..." or "to be fair..." are examples of how you would construct a solid reason (as long as you are being factual). Exceptions are not meant to be overused though so, for the most part, people shouldn't expect the rules to be any different than they are stated.

Questioning something is fine because it oftentimes leads to gradual improvement. Ignoring something only leads to the deterioration of the whole. For this reason, I would encourage people to follow the rules as they are stated but request/suggest alternatives for future rule changes. Since this is Sage's section and I have no real power in it, you don't have to listen to me but I would expect these courtesies in any of my sections. Seeing as it doesn't impact me in any way, I would consider my opinion to be pretty, but not completely, unbiased.

would it be ok if i challenge someone that isn't on gtm and still get someone to ai and film if he still builds and i have a copy of his bot? because my friend steven got dsl about a month ago and thinks he is the king of ra2 so i just thought i'd put him in his place without driver skill coming into it.
