I just want to establish some things, so nobody is under the wrong impressions about anything here and so that nobody just thinks our rules and regulations are a bunch of tossers with a bit of power, ready to throw it around. That's not the situation here.
All participants are required to abide by all of the league's regulations. If you are not willing to abide by the series rules then you shouldn't sign up. If we don't apply our rules evenly, to everyone equally, then the series is worthless. This goes for all of our rules, whether name conventions or blue flag/lapping rules. The naming rule will be enforced.
This is a feeder to a pro league. The sponsors for the pro league are real companies bringing real money to the series, for real prizes. We will not undermine or risk that relationship by taking the micky at national level.
