OK..so...why did it change with out the Gold coaches knowing? Cause the World Cup was played at 225..and ASA couldn't find the energy to change them to what they were previously?

Wonder why the Gold coaches are frustrated??

Exactely.....they made a change from the year before...but thought that because it was "classified" under or burried in ..the rule book...no one would notice or care or everyone would see?? Can you see how it could concern a customer??

Many coaches believe the rules are secretly "buried" in the rule book. That particular rule is buried WAY deep. Way down on page 32.

Yep.. some truth to that. I think a coaches committee is exactly what is needed so that these types of issues can be addressed. It may not solve issues for all the teams, but the ultimate goal is to move forward with ASA.

Are you really as full of **** as your posts?

When anything changes in the rule book, it is highlighted, put in bold print, noted in a separate section in the front of the rule book and posted on the web site a month before the rule book goes to print.

Not to mention that changes are reported almost within minutes of approval in November.

Now, if after all that there is anyone involved in the game that claims they are "uninformed" or "unaware", I don't think they should be allowed near any children.

Listen and read carefully....it is sometimes beneficial...more so than vulgarity...was that an attempt to add emphasis?? Make yourself HEARD!!!!!!

Fences are to be 200 min to 225 max. The Gold coaches played all summer on 200 foot fences...including qualifiers and last years Gold tournament. They show up this year and the fences are 225...without any consultation or prior notification...not even a bold print....highlight...posting on a website...or note in a separate section of the book...but a significant CHANGE from their previous events!!
Kinda like the fine print at the bottom of an advertisement... that frustrates us and changes the whole value of a product?

But this is just one example of the customers frustration...there are several more as has been discussed and documented.....

The bottom line is that these frustrations are real with these patrons regardless of what you THINK... and they got mad as hell and aren't gonna take it anymore!!

I am just a messenger Mike....and have been called worse than "full of **** " by more significant men (and women) than you....and thats OK...sometimes it is accurate!!

Thats why I like my dog....he doesn't call me names...and wags his tail when he see's me....He still pisses and craps on the porch though..when left out in the cold or dark!! But I still like him.

By the way...have you ever rode a horse?
