well I would like to first start off with that I am a new judge, but with that aside,

While I was participating in a construction tournament at a game store in my local area, a question about blocking spawn points came up.
You see one of the characters was close enough to enter the player's opponent's spawn point and possibly block his opponent's character from spawning, we asked one of the staff members, but they did not know whither the move would be legal or not, we also checked the manual and it did not say anything about it, although at the time we used common sense and assumed that move would not be allowed, but now that I have the chance, would the move truly have been legal or not?

The move is legal but the spawning/respawning pieces will just be forced to move first when spawning, if unable to than it will spawn in one of the nearest open spaces to that spawn point.

And just to add the official  CR support...

WoW Minis Comp Rules:

403.1a    If there is more than one such spawn point, that controller can choose any of them. If the chosen spawn point is occupied, the character entering play must make its natural move (404.1) before doing anything else that turn. If that character can’t move off that occupied spawn point (because it’s surrounded by enemy characters, for example), its controller places it in any of the unoccupied spaces nearest to that spawn point, and then it takes its turn as usual.
