I agree that this should change in the future, but not 2 weeks befor the event.

Hopefully it has a nice sideeffect. The author of the book is part of the team.
If the author is part of a professional team, the second team cannot be
considered amateurs and the real amateurs don't have to fight for an
amateurtitle with an "amateur" that has a professional book.

Or is this only my logic ?
