[Rich Ross]

A couple things.

Ricksta- Ron Webb is not a "new ref". He has been head reffing for a long long time.
Blake- This thread was created with the intent to confirm that this was, in fact, not a rule.

I am very dissatisfied with the "rule extension". I understand the reasoning, but that DOES NOT make it ok.

As a solution, i'd say that in addition to whatever already happens, there should either be a challenge system or there should be a representativce of the GDC at each regional. That way, when (not if) a ref at a regional skews the rules, that can be resolved.

Lets not let the refs re-write the rulebook
