Judge: I accept that Kerr cut his throughstones on the line, as he says, and not before. His section is marked down all the same. The rule against bringing stone to the line ready-shaped is there because a waller should shape to the gap in front of him, and Kerr cut his to lengths he had measured at home the week before.

Which one of the following principles, if valid, most helps to justify the judge's decision?

AA waller who brings stone to the line already cut to size may be marked down for it, whether or not his walling on the day is otherwise sound.

BA competitor should be judged by what he does inside the competition and not by preparation made before it began, however much that preparation helped.

CA waller who has measured the gap he will be given before the competition opens may be marked down for taking an advantage the rules exist to deny him.

DA competitor may be marked down for arranging matters so that the skill a rule exists to secure goes unexercised, whether or not its letter is broken.

EA rule whose point is understood by everyone competing should be applied according to that point rather than according to the words it is written in.
