There really isn't a consolidated "lore manual" like that in this franchise, although Fox purportedly kept one in-house for any projects being developed (more likely a list of "do-nots" than anything else).
You could certainly infer that from the film, but there's nothing to suggest that the predators have a homogenous culture like that. On the contrary, what we see in each of the movies seems to indicate quite a diversity it appearance and customs, etc.
Maybe this particular clan plays things that way, while others do their own thing, just like hunting clubs or sporting codes among humans.

I wasn't talking about this discussion, more of "the canon" (for those interested in such things).

Short answer to the OP's question: in the Predator franchise, no. In the AvP franchise, it's possible?
Definitely agree that Predators don't have a homogeneous culture - it's one of the things I like most about them.
Come on... you're not being fair Xenomrph. What Gaska is talking about is licensing... i.e. if you shell out money to use the Predator license but not pay for AvP nor Alien licensing, that is what you're allowed to get into.
But in this discussion, it is 100% "allowed".

Maybe the City Pred made his own, which would explain why it looks so different.
