i always thought it said something in the rules like: every sort of a bicicle is allowed. has this part vanished?
i would not argue with the skill of these players, i would argue with that i think
these bikes have noting dangerous on them.
when you get hit by handlebars is when the bike has already fallen to the ground/ is falling to the ground and you fall upon it. seeing it like that, this sort of bars is way safer than every sort of risers or flat bars.
regarding the position of the rider: you can't ban someone because his shoulders are not on your height! if so, you yould have to ban whether yorgo or me, because there is no way of a safe shoulder to shoulder contact.
in the end it is your tournatment and you guys have to decide.
but i would find it very sad, if someone is excluded from our game because of overly ambitious rule-making and standartisation.
