[NSRCA-discussion] Fact............

[Gene Maurice]

No one collects, maintains, manages, administers, accumulates, records,
summarizes, folds, spindles, or mutilates points! PERIOD! The rule, as
stated in the AMA Rulebook, is not only unenforced, it's unenforceable!!!

At the end of a contest CD's send data to the AMA. These forms include data
about the contestants including the results of the contest. As of today, the
AMA does nothing to accumulate that data, per Lisa Johnson, Administrative
Assistant in the AMA Competition Department. No one in the world can tell
you how many points you have.

The whole system, as it stands today, is an honor system. It is the
competitor's sole responsibility to know how many points he has. 

This in itself seems to be a strong argument for abolishing the rule.

BTW, IMHO, any other scenario that utilizes the accumulation of statistics
to determine advancement is equally unenforceable.

Just a thought........................
