Good for them. I am glad they are reconsidering some of the rules seeing that they were interested in some of the public comment. The letter by Chris Megahn is encouraging and we'll see how it shakes out - good to see they are listening AND flexible
As for "Adverse Comments" made here and elsewhere, while I can't speak for much elsewhere beyond what I have read, the significant majority of the conversation here was good debate. Sure, a few people got a little, uhh, riled up, but that happens when you have nearly 200 replies and 3500 views in 3 days... But so far this has been good discussion.
I have seen discussion on this topic on a few sources that aren't widely public and they voice similar (and some more critical) comments on the current format...
Dennis put it best about the club "points" system needing to be addressed. Still encourage the club competition but bring the overall impact down to more reasonable levels.
I applaude OTW that they are investigating this a bit more... Look forward to seeing what the rule tweaks are...
