Remember gracious professionalism.

I recently had such a conversation with an inspector regarding the playing configuration size. He claimed that it included bumpers, which would not have worked for us. Fortunately, I was able to point out the rule section that clearly stated bumpers are not included in playing configuration size, and all was well.
Hello sir, we will see you at Long Beach. Good luck to you guys and be prepared. We will be prepared to dominate the West Coast.
