Don't you believe that introducing a rule like this is not unfair to competitors? Because a rule must be respected as such and it is not up to the judge to decide whether to take it subjectively or not.
And if that is a suggestion, then there should be no penalty.
By the way, the event warned this as a major rule, ins't look as a suggestion at all. You need to be more communicative next time to avoid this kind of confusion.
How do judges know if a level is too big? For an event like the CLDC, don't they believe it can limit the smwhacker's creativity? It's a matter of time or a subjective question, like "this level is too boring"?
I knew you guys had high standards, but that's too much.
Good luck to anyone who participates.
