[RTTY] NAQP Category Question

[Phil Snyder]

Thanks Ed,


I just thought I would see if there was any particular reason for the 
way it is. I am the first one to tout a sponsors choice to make the 
rules and if you don't like them,  just don't participate. Just wondered 
if there was some reasoning behind the category choices.
