It's clearly written, not suggested. If some official is an idiot, you need to whip out the rule book and hit them with it.
This sport can be pretty sorry ass sometimes. I did an omnium this year where they screwed me off the podium because the written race bible and website race bible didn't match. Though that was trivial compared to their enforcement of the center line rule.
I got relegated for going over the centerline in a field sprint once. The only problem was I soloed in a minute ahead of the field.
Really, I got an endless supply of bad officiating stories.
