How is the superstar defined?

Question

Bonjour,

From another question titled D.7 "Who picks the Superstar," the referee mentioned that the current response is not the final decision. Therefore, I would like to combine our concerns about the rules and ask again:

According to the rule: "The superstar is valid as being on stage if all or part of his vertical projection is on the stage at the end of the match and if it is in contact only with the stage or the ramp."

We have a question: Given that the SIMAs designed by our team have significant visual differences between the superstar and the groupies, how is the superstar defined? Is it based on the team's declaration of which SIMA is the superstar and which SIMAs are the groupies, or is it determined by which SIMAs enter the Scene and ramps and thus are recognized as the superstar? In other words, if a groupie has its vertical projection enter or contact the Scene and ramps, will it be considered a superstar and thus violate the rule that there can only be one superstar? Or can the groupies enter the stage or the ramp?

Since your previous response has not yet been updated as the best answer, we are asking again.
Best regards,

Chang

Not an official answer:

"This response is not valid until it is selected „best answer“." => it has since been selected best answer, therefore it is valid

"Or can the groupies enter the stage or the ramp?"
They can, if the referees have been informed beforehand, and there is not ambiguity of which SIMA is the superstar

Source : "If there are multiple SIMAs on the scene AND the referees were not informed beforehand which will be counted, there might be a reasoned refereeing decision to not count the superstar points for that team at all. So please do not try that ;)"
(key word being AND)
