But the rules require more. The Rules require that all players be allowed to join a contest. Importantly in this case, I interpret that as "the reasonable opportunity to join." If you don't have a reasonable opportunity to decide whether to be bound by it, then you don't have the reasonable opportunity to join. My argument is the net effect of the two rules, not either separately. -Goethe
