Yes, the rule that someone stated to me was that it has to hold for 10 seconds, the one in Boston held for at least that long (the refs were talking when it fell - I dont think they were near it from what I remember), so they decided to count it.

So if the ramps fell prior to 10 seconds, they wouldnt count, otherwise its a tie.

Excellence - is the result of caring more than others think is wise, risking more than others think is safe, dreaming more than others think is practical, and expecting more than others think is possible.
