Seconded.

I know some of last year's high powered lights were verrrry intense and distracting when I was standing just behind and to the right of a driver's station during a match in St. Louis.

If you are not permitted to drape a sheet over a driver station to block the view of an opposing driver, why is it ok to blind them with a high powered flashlight?
