BNT did have the rule you are talking about but it got voted out a long time ago. The main complaint was sometimes guys like to share baits, relax under a tree for lunch, etc. I dont think this rule fits BNT right now. I know there has been people whining about others getting to close in the past, but personally thats between the 2 anglers. I have never had any issues myself with this.
About the Dudley thing...this is a competitive sport deal with it or get out. The level these guys are fishing at is not meant to be the fun laidback type events. These guys are not there to make friends, they are there to catch more weight then everyone else and make a living.
