 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. >>

I don't see it as a choice either....I never fought for my completion when I
helped someone...it did not matter to me...this is an issue someone else must
address.  As far as I read it AERC rules make no exception for this.  I
suppose rider AND management can petition for such a completion...don't know
what will happen though.
