<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I agree with you Earl. If one exception why
not all? I'm not actually sure Bob made the definitive call but it sure seems
that way. The question becomes, how will it be judged at the World
Championship?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Bob's answer is a reasonable enough position
on an untenable application of the rules for the roller. But
why not then apply the same reasoning to other maneuvers as well - forget the
distance verbiage and rely on visibility? Am I the only one concerned
that Bob Skinner (well intentioned as he may be, and with all due respect)
seems to have become the czar of F3A rules interpretation? There is a CIAM F3A
Subcommittee (of which Bob is chair) that should be addressing these issues
and fixing the wording of the rules, rather than allowing one person to
make the calls.</FONT></DIV>
