My proposal just stayed with the penalties that were already in place for exceeding the noise. Let's face it, if you go over the noise at the Nats, it means you are being tested in the finals, and at that point exceeding it will be game over. There is no room for any penalty. My main intent with my noise proposal is to outline the retest procedure and to mandate availability of the test equipment prior to the beginning of the contest. Noise is not as cut and dried as weight. It is a big variable. Since weight is somewhat easily measured I would be against a penalty system.
