I suppose that would wrok, I'd justify that by saying the Pentans are constantly invoking obscure rules and using trickery to make the game harder for foreigners not familiar with their ways. If the pentans were giving the foreigner a genuine chance, I'd make it a ride contest modified by cultural knowledge abilities.
I am aware that often augmenting in this way will give fairly low modifiers, but I still think this approach is the right one.
