Questions, Answers, and Rulings

June 16, 2019 by Troy McManus

Here’s a common misconception about rulings versus simple answers to questions:  A ruling is made through the official ruling system, which requires the ruling to be approved by the board of directors, and doesn’t go into effect until 7 days after the ruling has been approved.  Rulings can change or interpret an existing rule, but are never made without cause and a demonstrable need for the change.  There is a system for this which requires a written ruling and the reason for that ruling, along with possible consequences of the ruling—all of that information goes to the board.

But it’s only a local match

March 3, 2019 by Jodi Humann

We have all heard that expression before. It usually is uttered when a stage design isn’t legal, when a shooter is stopped and given a reshoot for a popper not falling, or any other instance where the rules weren’t followed. When it is uttered, all RMs and RMIs (and some RO/CROs) cringe (like finger nails on a chalkboard) and wish they had never heard it.
