To the best of my knowledge and information, the National Qualifier held in OKC, also held at the HOF Complex, was also played at 225'. Yep, the same fencing at the same complex, just a few weeks earlier. So, couldn't it equally be said that the teams/complexes/TD's that played at 200', the minimum, were wrong??

So, if they moved the fences to the 200' that you claim ALL qualifiers all summer long, wouldn't the teams that played at 225' have the exact same complaint, that the fences were moved from where they played their qualifier??

The rule allows a range of legal distances, to allow more fields with fixed fences to meet the requirements. Why is that so difficult?
you should go debunk them.. you know all this stuff.. and they get away with their talking apoints because noone else knows the truth or will post it.
