I think you and I are in basic agreement and arguing semantics.
Let me give you some examples of BS Club Rules (thank goodness not in my Club)
- THOU MUST FLY THE PATTERN! (including helicopters)
- Helicopters can only fly in a separate area
- No 3D over the runway even if you are the only plane in the air
- No low fast passes even if you are the only plane in the air
These are all real examples I have seen, and are probably the kind imposed by older flyers to keep the younger flyers in line.
These are ''CLUB RULES'' and not ''AMA RULES''.
The first one is not a BS rule. It can and will keep down mid air collisions.
The third one is not either for the same reason, if you are not the only plane in the air.
The others might or might not be BS rules.
Most any rule at any venue has a basis for it's existence. In other words, something happened to cause that rule to be put into effect.

Helicopters must fly the pattern????? .......... now you show your bias as a scale builder.........
And yes in rule 3 I DID SAY ''if you are the only plane in the air''
Yes, you did say that. In the case of the helicopters flying the pattern, if they don't have a separate area, then they should fly the pattern. It's for safety.
