Serious question on this... If someone moves to your area with decades of experience at the high school and small college level, is your association really going to restrict the number of games they get because they don't follow the mechanics to the strictest degree possible? Even if they are an absolute rules expert and the best communicator and game manager your group has ever had?

I ask in all seriousness because I've worked for a lot of people that say what you are saying. But the reality is often quite different. Rules knowledge, communication, and game management often go a lot further than strict adherence to mechanics.
