Hi Rick,
The "RULES" I am talking about are the criteria or logic steps that NAMSA would use to decide in favor of one party over a contested date. These need to be known, published up front, so that when NAMSA does make a contested regatta date decision, the party that was not allowed to use the date in question understands why they were disallowed. This eliminates the posibility of favoritism. We don't want anybody to feel that they were treated unfairly.
