I only bring it up because interesting parallels can be drawn between golf and kendo in terms of shiai, other than the paycheck part....

Golf is still considered as a gentleman's sport....

I answered based on that assumption, really. As most people practicing Kendo are not looking at paychecks or prize-moneys we can actually stop to think wether we want to follow the letter or the spirit of the rules.

I wouldn't be doing it if not for the spirit. I generally see it as bad sportsmanship to try to bend the rules and find loopholes all the time.
