meant to make the point that this stuff is hard to find if you are not
an NSRCA member. If you are an AMA member only you tend to go by what it
says in the rule book. this can lead to some interesting moments at an
AMA sanctioned contest.</font></font></font></span><span class=125350914-24042003></span><span class=125350914-24042003><font face="Arial"><font color="#0000FF"><font size=-1>Eric.</font></font></font></span><span class=125350914-24042003></span><span class=125350914-24042003></span>

rule book is not clear. It does not say 1/2 the length of the down-line.
If that is the case it would also have to define what is a down-line in

Judging committee's role is to clarify this type of confusion, but, and
it is a big but, it does not have the power to make rule changes. Where
we can't sort it out they go to the AMA contest board for clarification
or for a ruling. The ultimate goal being to eventually get an update in
the rule book. the problem is that in the interim we do not have a easy
place to find these "temporary" rulings or interpretations.</font></font></font></span><span class=470095613-24042003></span><span class=470095613-24042003><font face="Arial"><font color="#0000FF"><font size=-1>Regards,</font></font></font></span><span class=470095613-24042003></span><span class=470095613-24042003><font face="Arial"><font color="#0000FF"><font size=-1>Eric.</font></font></font></span><span class=470095613-24042003></span><span class=470095613-24042003></span><span class=470095613-24042003><span
