Raul,

I know that tipping & pinning rules are intended to make the game interesting. I also know that if a team sets out to be lean, mean, tipping machine, that team is going to be very hard to beat.

My issue with these rules is that they are very hard for the judges to enforce. It requires the refs to get into the hearts and minds of the drivers.

Last year we had no rules about either tipping or pinning. I have to say that it worked out very well. BUT a nasty team might have really put a spanner in the works (as Lynn Monica might say now that she's been living with the Brits so lone ;-)

I am thinking that perhaps last year we didn't have any tippers and pinners because getting a machine that ran at all was so difficult (due largely to mistakes in kit design by yours truly). With two more weeks and improvements to the kit, things might be different this year.

All I can say is that we are talking about it.

What does everyone else have to say on the subject?

Joe J.
