Truman
again takes one point from a posting and bases a rejection of the whole.
Truman, is it ok with you to state your position on rules infractions is
"this issue is way down on the
list "? I am very sorry if you feel this way as we do need
integrity from the bottom up. Whether it is trail cutting, using an underage
horse or not giving completion awards, it is all rule infractions. Do we nee to
classify the degree of infraction now? I thought the fact had been determined,
we were just negotiating the price!

I sure think it is a stretch to imply that the
"integrity" of the sport is at grave risk because a RM choses to give a tee
shirt to someone that enteries the ride. Quite simply it seems to be more of a
matter of they got them, they can't used them next year (most of the time they
are dated or have a specific theme) and they are good advertising for future
rides.
So if it's a matter of the ride manager eatting them or being
gracious and giving them out, I'd vote for giving them out. I sure don't
consider that it "cheapens" my completion because someone who may have run
into some bad luck and didn't got a tee shirt.
If this were the only
problem we had in the sport, then we'll be golden. But from my vantage point,
this issue is way down on the list - almost in the noise.
I ask these ride managers, is the integrity of endurance
competition subversive to your convenience? Let's see a bit
more spirit of true endurance ride management.
