I think you missed his point. a NO WITHHOLDING RULE would even up the regionals.... That way everyone plays with what they "brung" in the crate or bag... or fixes it on Thursday...

As you mentioned with a 30 lb allowance you can work longer until your regional comes up...

i can certainly remember when they told us we couldn't even work on programming after ship date ...

Times have changed
