Hi Verne,

I believe it was Jerry Budd who began the entire rule process to change the matrix system with his original proposal and I'm pretty sure he would not have desired to require a score from each day. He got burned at a Nats a number of years ago when it was that way. I believe it was Contest Board rewriting that ended up modifying Jerry's proposal into what got passed. I don't think too many people paid attention to the process. I know I didn't because I thought we were done with that sort of scoring.
