Default RE: Pattern weight rule - why?

Then, "if we agree" to what Arch reads the rules to mean, we didn't need the Masters finals specific rule on busting weight?

The rule book states the airplane is DQ'd, it does not address the rounds flown already nor can we assume those rounds were flown with an over weight airplane. Reading the rules as written if the airframe is DQ'd then I could pick up my back up and continue flying.

Reading over the rules it is not clear on much of anything in my opinion. Go figure

I plan on making a rule proposal to clarify this subject and hopefully change all the weight wording to be clear cut. With penalties spelled out.

Threads like this involve many people and hopefully will help me submit a proposal that is well thought out and reasonable. Many counsel's makes one wise........... or crazy.

Jury is still out on that one.
