Just to put some meat on the bones of what Roger conveyed to us last week.....

I think that the sad thing is that having been caught out some of the guys feel they should still not be disqualified but reclassified! effectively saying' if we don't get caught that's great but if we do we still get to enter anyway!', an automatic second chance.
 
8k q's in one case, who altered just 31, what a minute proportion to be kicked out over.
 
In a situation like that what would we do? simple answer, just enter the M/M section from the outset and consider it a lesson learned for next time.
 
With the reaction that we have read from those guys one is left to wonder if there is anything else that was either not discovered or could not be proved.
 
Anyway, let us hope that these DQ's plus exclusion from WRTC next year is sufficient penalty to deter others and encourage conformity to the contast rules and spirit.
