The whole point of competitions is to provide a safe environment thanks to a set of rules all participants AGREE on in order to progress together.
If new tools "break" the competition, we change the rules and that's A-OK.
CTF isn't a natural phenomenon, if tools change, rules change, simple.
- no computer assistance, which does also mean no mobile on competition, human only
- advanced chess with assistance
- computer only, no human assistance
and arguably chess itself is not doing worst since.
