Del and I were discussing the "elbow bumps" rule. Can that be simplified to: Allowing elbow hops only if no advantage is gained - which would be left up to the ref's discretion. This could include accidentally momentarily slightly off the sides or front/back of the pad. Flagrant elbow fouls as well as minor ones could be called at ref's discretion.
Edit: I know I was previously against fouls off the sides of the pads... Maybe "allowing vertical hops if no advantage gained" would be an option too - less change from what was written in the poll.

3.. Are you in favour of cutting the Men's Grand Masters classes from 3 to 2 in right and left. The 90+ class has only ever had more than 1 person in it twice in the past 5 years. The classes would be as follows: 80kg, 80+kg YES - 8 NO - 4 ABSTAIN - 0 - PASSED If you are going to cut the Gmasters from 3 to 2 ( which I disagree)and it looks you are going to this coming Nationals ,Rick you said there would be discussion on the weight split , Ie 85 , 85 +  ? |

Dont worry Darryl I think there will be lots of discussion before Nats. Alot was discussed in a short time and I am sure there will be tweaks and changes. But its exciting that something at least is happening. I have an iron in this fire as well as I will be two years from Grand Mas. Now we just gotta get away from May 24. A long way.

I have no doubt Darryl. I hope more people get on here, especially the women, with some suggestions on improvement. I get that cutting may not be the right solution, but what is? Suggestions would be great. One other thing I would like to see happen at all levels, is if you enter a class with 2 or less you are given the option to pull up, while holding your spot. No one wants to spend $3000 and pull once or not at all.
