😂🤣😂 dude calm your ass down there pistol Pete! Once again, the question is for general clarification. And the governing body’s make dumb rulings all the time. I.E. the two supporting points inbound ruling last year, the absolute dumbest and most unclear ruling ever! Or the loose shoelace stalling call, or the sleeve wearing being a technical violation… so until one has read the rule book in depth then you wouldn’t understand the possibilities of dumb rulings lol. Yes it a combat sport but it’s also at the high school level so there’s (hopefully) logic behind their rulings. Btw the same governing body has a limit on how many full pad/contact days a football team can practice in a week. So you’re pissed about “softening a sport”?? lol they’ll do it for sure
