Interesting, I guess my memory is a little foggy, my apologies, and there was no intent of ragging on judges for skipping checkpoints. I merely thought it was an 'honors system' type arrangement.
Nonetheless my point remains: our team thought we were following the rule very carefully, when clearly we could have enhanced our shooter even further.
Questioning rules allows more latitude in the creative thought process, but can offer unfair advantages to those who are privy to rule updates and discussion.
Like I said, it would be interesting to see what percentage of teams have someone avidly follow CD or Q&A etc.
