[RTTY] Gripe of the Day

[Fred Dennin]

No "self spotting" is one central premise in virtually every major contest 
and should be understood that it is unacceptable.  However, it seems that 
lack of specificity in the rules is sometimes interpreted to mean that if 
it's not spelled out in the rule, then it's fair game.  Based on my quick 
review of the BARTG rules for this year, it does not expressly prohibit self 
spotting.

Other committments kept me from playing in this one but for what it's worth, 
he/she should just submit a check log.
