I think the first step is for the USAPL to decide if they support this rule. If they do not then they can look for allies. If they think it's a good rule then everyone needs to know why and for what purposes.

Really under this rule you could almost suspend the entire California branch of the USAPL. And here I thought you guys should be commended for working well with everyone else.

Now I see you are just no good law breakers. Seems fitting for 49er fans.

I thought I already have frightened you with my uncanny ability to find facts and future outcomes. LOL

I do think it's a first step. I think the IPF believes they have gone too far and that now that Pandora's Box is open they're trying to figure out how to jam it all back in. Gut feel seeing past IPF reactions is that it won't be delicate.

My future prediction (place your bets now) will be that the IPF will roll back/eliminate our current equipment levels. I think this may be phased in at the same time that Inzer's bench shirt guarantee phases out.

Do you really want me to pencil out my whole 5 year plan? I don't want to be viewed as a Commie.

If you could just count Jason you could have gone to Master Worlds. LOL Now that you're a light 90kg guy that isn't going to happen. Unless Buffington lets you win 1st place now and then.
