[QUOTE="squeezer, post: 294846, member: 2381"] Yeah -- that and your comment on sentiment really bring it home. What I find disappointing is that I've met some of the guys at the top of the points that were NOT on Warchild's list of people who are playing fair. I've met them at other (shorter) rallies. We've talked about the sport. They've given me -- a once or twice a year rallyer -- advice and tips. It doesn't matter what the rules say, they KNOW that isn't kosher. It's explicit in the rules for many rallies, e.g. the Mason-Dixon 20-20, but even when it isn't, participants at this level know what the norms are. I'm hoping that when the emotions of competition die down a bit, it won't be as bad as it seems. And if it is, well... it's a small community. People's reputations spread quickly. I imagine some folks will find life difficult at scoring tables. [/QUOTE]
