Once again the instructions on these things are so complex I have absolutely no idea what you want here. Please clarify the rules highlighted in bold.
Lets look at the scarecrow instructions.

1. No more than 3% graphics, and 3% Gameplay
OK got that
2. You may not resize the template
OK
3. Sculpting must be within the boundaries of the box you can see when you go to Tools> Hide
OK
4.You may sculpt onto the scarecrow’s surface, but you may not alter its shape.
Umm.. that's a good trick. If you sculpt onto the scarecrow you are by definition altering its shape. So what exactly is meant by this? 
5. DO not unfreeze the sticks
OK
6. Do not resize the ruler
OK
7. No copyright material
OK
8.No audio
OK. Disappointing. But okay.

So you think you are set but then you get...

9. You may add flecks and finishes and TWO additional sculpts(e.g. a hat and a pitchfork, or a tie and a pair of glasses)
What is not clear here is copies. If I make an eyeball and I want it shiny then it will need to be an additional sculpt. If I clone it to make 2 eyes is that my TWO sculpts or is that still ONE? If I sculpt a hat, paint it with flecks and delete the sculpt, I have a hat but it isn't a sculpt. Are you going to count that as flecks of which I have no limit or a sculpt because it is a hat?

10. You must not increase the detail on the scarecrow above the set limit

This is a repeat of number 1. So I am assuming you  CAN increase the detail on the scarecrow as long as it does not go over 3%, and as we already have the rule about the 3% this is just confusing. There are NO instructions about decreasing the detail and it is unclear as how it relates to points 12 and 13 (looseness). Reducing detail may be the only option to reduce the thermo down to 3%, so I am assuming it is okay to do - but it may affect the looseness of the sculpt - so I am unclear it we are allowed to optimise.

11. You must not touch Emit Light settings. Glow Limit is 25%
OK
12. You must not use tweaks on other pages. So no animation effects, no changes to impasto and ruffle and looseness because they are on page 3

There are multiple ways of creating these effects. The tweak menu gives you finer control than the style mode, but by using Style mode you automatically change the settings on the tweak menu. However in point 13 you CAN use style, so presumably you can change impasto and ruffle. So I do not understand the restriction here.

13. You may use Style and Spraypaint, as well as Paint, but please do not use Looseness.

Again looseness is restricted, but style also controls impasto and ruffle which you forbid us to use in point 12. So which is it?
