Is there any volunteers for this job???
At the minute it's hard enough for clubs to get enough people to run a regional let alone referee every heat.

What I said is some people get to involved in the rule book at what is supposed to be fun event.

Normally, it's the job of race control to monitor this with the help of the 'do not leave your point till you are relieved' axiom. It then self regulates itself.

If you are not relieved you point it out to race control. This wouldn't have helped on Sunday, but it was pointed out to Race Control.

So you think that the rule book should be 'bendy'. Opening pandora's box here.
People weren't too involved, I was surprised to find the ruling, most of us thought a 10 second penalty was the penalty to be applied, but we were shocked to find otherwise. 'Ask Damo who read the rule'
