I caution everyone not to expect the same change in definition as in 2002. The rules committee has a couple more years of experience and I would hope that they have an answer ready for the first questionable mechanism. It was unfortunate that the tether rule caused such a ruckus in 2002 but others soon copied the tape rule tether and the competition continued. If the answer this year is that your mechanism is illegal, will you be able to bring it back to within the rules?
