There can be the occasional rough edge, but I don't think that many (eg the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underarm_bowling_incident_of_1981" target="_blank">underarm bowling incident</a> was controversial from the point of view of fair play, but not from the point of view of permissibility with the rules).</blockquote>
