Tony and Scott, pm sent..

Tony, I'm as broke as you, probably more broke bro. I ain't knockin what happened with the late entries, I can dig it. I didn't know I could enter late as I read the cutoff date and assumed that was the date because I am a "follow the rules" kind of guy for the most part. I just don't know why rules aren't followed at the "pinnacle" event in the US. Think they would take a late entry for the worlds? Why are we any different.

So I can dig that money can be an issue for entering at the last minute, that's the main reason I didn't enter. Heck, I worked maybe 1 month in the last 6.. Getting ready to shut my company down and look for a job.. I could have finished my Opium, and flown the nats. I was assuming I was going to get wings for my Neptuno by the nats. But I had to make the decision on the cutoff date and I did. I couldn't attend. 1 week later I had flown my Opium and would have chosen to go. So you see my reason for being upset when I found out..

Anyway, rules are rules. And are dictated by each individual ED a little different so it seems. I can dig that. Can't we quit giving Archie a hard time and just adhere to the plan he's laying out? It's that simple. Whatever he lays out, it's well in advance, so we all know.. So we just do it..
