[QUOTE="Mannahnin, post: 9846587, member: 7026594"] I think you can absolutely have clearer rules without falling into the trap of trying to over-define everything. But yeah, essentially the big draw/unique advantage of TTRPGs run by a human being is the tactical infinity/possibility to try ANYTHING, and you have to accept the idiosyncracies of the human judging/running the game in order to get those things. I do remember my first RPGA tournament (in '89, I think?), and how the player who won it (and a pre-release copy of the new 2E Players Handbook as his prize) was a fun guy who got into character. We were in the same party/at the same table in the first round, and had a good humorous rivalry roleplaying dynamic with our assigned characters. :) I never played a lot of D&D tournaments, though, so I may have missed out on seeing a lot of other crappy players and behaviors.
