It seems for me there is way to solve this problem to consider
to install the pure (honest) unassisted cotegory
- add to the Cluster protocol one more filter which could be
fill out by sponsor by claim from people who want to participate
as unassisted.
- No selfspotting, no helpers and competitor spots
- other people play their game with cluster as usual ;)
