Re: How is the Witholding Allowance at events being enforced?

Garret.
I think it is just the opposite. The vast majority of teams do what they can to follow the rules and act in as GP a manner as is possible. With repsect to the latest interpretation of the battery, teams will disassemble their batteries to be compliant. It is what makes my job easier than it could be. I have to say that in perhaps 20 or more events of 50 or more teams, I have only found one team that willfully violated the rules and one that gave me a hard time about inspections but had not violated anything. Of all those things that did not pass in inspections, the team was not trying to hide anything, but they all failed to read and keep up to date on the revisions and updates. In a rare instance, teams failed to correct an item even after it was pointed out to them.
I will respect you until you give me a reason not to.
