Not that again!!!

I have just downloaded the form/rules for the IAC International Competition
and see that it is the film MAKERS rather than the film that determines whether
it is an amateur or open entry. Then I look at the past winners and see last
year's amateur winner was made by a group two of whom are broadcast professionals,
admittedly one "recently retired". What gives here? I am semi-retired (the
shooting part is just getting to be too much for me) but earn from my film/video
work, can I claim to be a "Group" as my co-worker is a professional musician
rather than film maker and so enter as an amateur?
I know we have been down this road before but it must be time it was brought
to a head as it would seem that many of the high profile IAC members are
in fact semi-professionals as they shoot weddings, contract edit and offer
NLE training. Where to please?
