When did this "rule" go into effect? The steering rules clearly state
what is to happen:

"If other models are fouled by the steerer, the fouled competitor has
the choice of a substitute flight, which, if taken, is his score for
that round. He must exercise this choice to his timekeepers not later
than two (2) minutes after termination of his flight. If he chooses to
restart, he must do so before his next official flight"
