I was wondering what had happened to you guys during the event.

It's unfortunate this happened, and I'm glad you recognize that your team made some mistakes and can learn from them.

I think the inspectors should hold some of this bag too, yes their job is hard, no I haven't done it (yet), but as pointed out by a few others, just being volunteers doesn't excuse them from mistakes. This isn't meant as a shot at the inspectors either, its more of a general concern for how we can deal with this in the future without it happening again.

First, I'd like to see some simplification of the bumper rules, also I'd like to see them more consistently located, perhaps with reference images as suggested earlier in this thread.

Second, there should be an official channel for handling these kind of things. Implicitly most people seem content to ask the lead inspector to maybe look over something, but to the best of my knowledge there is no official channel for (discreetly) requesting a team be looked at? I may be wrong on this one, someone please tell me if I am.

This situation is just plain lousy, so let's round up some thoughts on how we can avoid it next time around?

Again, 514, I'm sorry this happened, but I'm glad you're being mature about it.
