ARRL General Rule 3.14 [1]
"3.14. In contests where spotting nets are permissible, spotting your
own station or requesting another station to spot you is not permitted."

I read that as meaning it is against the rules to ask someone else to
spot you, irrespective of what category you enter.  If my interpretation
of that rule is correct then you were right to report the incident to
the sponsor!
