Much of my post has been deleted as it was a response to Valley Raider's initial post, which has been somewhat modified by the post above. I would encourage people who intend to post criticism, of the GDC's rules or interpretations of rules, or any other issue for that matter, to stick to the issue and not cast aspersions upon the group or individuals in question. It is okay to disagree... even disagree strongly... but to say "with all due respect" and then show a lack of respect for an individual or group who worked extremely hard at a difficult task is something of a contradiction. If you want to make a point, make it... but stick to the point and offer rationale to support your position.

So.... With all due respect (and believe me... there is a lot of respect due to this group) to the GDC, I haven't agreed with all the rules or decisions this year (technically agreeing with 99.5% of them is not "all"), but have certainly accepted them all and had a great time competing this year and enjoyed the game regardless. Thanks for your hard work this past year... I wish my team was still playing, but I'm already looking forward to next year's game!
