I interpreted your response to me as indicating that a person had a choice
in whether to stop and help another rider. I don't see it as a choice at
all, which was what my point was. So, I am assumming that not getting a
completion because you did a good deed falls in the same category as being
over time because of vandalism, slow vet checks and unforseen weather
conditions and other uncontrollable circumstances. Is that correct?  - and
per rule, the BOD can be petitioned for an exception.  Can the rider  do
this, or only the ride management? Sorry for the newbie questions.
