Traditional, Ride and Tie Assoc. sanctioned events have usually had a 
criteria of 72. Recently it has been up to the vets even more... and at 
the Championships in Libby, MT, Jim Steere set it was at 64!  In doing a 
RAT along with an endurance event we have suggested that we keep the 
criteria the same, to make it easier on the vets and PR crew.  Even so, 
I was challenged three different times about getting out without a hold 
at the Swanton. That just shows how well the McCray's  embolded their 
volunteers to be tough. (Since we were only two of 70 riders I did  not  
find it abusive.)
