Dotec blade legal?

I read a post on a different forum saying that the Dotec blade(s) are technically illegal for tournament play because their core layer isn't technically continuous.  Is this true and is there anyone that's able to take pictures of the various dotec blades to confirm this?

USATT Rules

2.4.5 The blade, any layer within the
blade and any layer of covering
material or adhesive on a side used
for striking the ball shall be
continuous and of even thickness. 

I'm wondering as I'm getting back into the game and there's someone at the table tennis club that offered to help me get registered so I can compete in a tournament.
Many thanks for any input.

Ok, that's what I wasn't sure about... I think I'll be with USATT but the rule sets seem similar.   I just don't want to get my new blade/rubber and learn it - then find out it's illegal for play.  

It does say "Any" layer withen the blade.

It's continuous if there isn't any gap. I have the BTY KLH and the Sclarger Carbon have core plies that aren't one piece. They are jointed and continuous.

Jointed core material? What the crap are they doing! With high cost of most blades you would expect solid plys. That's like adding Pink Slime to hamburger meat. Just any way to rip off the consumer..bastards! BBC and Ross Leidy know what a great blade is without trying to fool the public. No excuse for that type of construction...shameful in my book.

I wish BBC could make an imitation dotec blade...  The very comfortable handle & the exceptional control is why i'm going to purchase one.

I'm sure they do.

I think it depends a little on your interpretation of continuous... it could be interpreted as continuous thickness or the same material through a layer. I've never heard of a blade being disqualified, so I doubt it's an issue.

I've seen the inside of a Donic Dotec blade that broke along one of the fiberglass strips and it seemed to be an obvious violation of the continuous layer rule. For those unfamiliar with the Dotec core, it is altogether different then your basic horizontally laminated multi-layer blade, i.e. a blade made in the way plywood is made, whether all wood or wood+fiber.

The Dotec blade's core is vertically laminated with thin strips of what appear to be fiberglass spaced every inch or so. If you were looking at the hitting surface of blade with its outer skins removed, these strips would appear edge-on as threads crossing the head horizontally.
