Even when I accept to obey the rules?

If you obey the rules and make propositions and you are still left out, then it
becomes arbitrary.
I have made several propositions to Enrique, and I hope he will consider them.
His main objection was about time. He wants the match to begin very soon. I need
several days to make my SMP version work again, and I suggested that if I fail
to deliver it after the Deep Fritz - Deep Junior match has ended, then I should
be disqualified.
