There are tons of ways to make a good base even without crouch.
The rule is there for a reason.
If you need to crouch people would take to much time and the base owners can easily kill them.
It just makes it unfair. Period.
You have broken the rules in 2 ways.
Ilegal base by making it only enterable by crouching + a hidden keypad.
I will mention this crouching rule again to Agent and again at the meeting but its unlikely it will be changed.
