"Courtesy Staging" in the Profesional Categories?

While watching a replay of the NHRA event from, I believe, Topeka, I noticed one of the Professional category competitors "double-bulbed" their opponent during eliminations. Both vehicles staged and the run was completed. Is "courtesy staging" not a requirement in the professional classes, or just in Sportsman? I know a lot of us try to play "mind-games" with our opponents, but it just seemed strange that nothing was said at the time. Any thoughts?
