As far as I am concerned, the AMA's primary function is maintaining rulebooks, sanctioning contests, keeping track of records, etc. All that stuff that 93.4% of the AMA membership cares nothing about. So I am not a happy camper with the screwups.

This was sent to all the folks concerned such as DB, SF, and staff. 01/18/05.
No ansaawers as per yet. How about all you people that want rule books fire off some stuff to your VPs, YOUR PRES. and to the Staff ED and Comp. Dept.

AMA "RULE BOOK"
"No printed version will be automatically mailed to the membership. Members unable to print from the web may obtain an unbound three-hole punched copy by sending a check for $2.50/ section to the AMA Competitions Department"

Just to express my total displeasure at this operation. Again those people that truly support AMA thru competition and Event Directing have to get it in the shorts. That little book was always a welcome item in the flight-box or the pocket of Event Directors and for fireside reading every so often.
Rule Books have been a part of AMA since as long as I remember being in AMA and that is for about half a century.
It seems that a certain number -- based on previous distribution -- over the past 3-5 years could be printed and then First Come - First Served distribution over the life of the book.
I don't think this is anything to try to blame on the Competitions Department as that is the only Dept. in AMA that generally has its stuff together.
