It seems to defeat the purpose of the competition when they include arbitrary rules like this.
All sports include arbitrary rules to try to make them more fun for both participants and viewers. Basketball isn't just about seeing who can get a ball through the hoop the most times, car racing isn't just about who can be the first N times around a track etc.
