Re: INDIANA STATE RECORD

Brad:  All sports require clear concise rules and brave and unbiased officials to enforce those rules.  What gets the fans angry is when the officials either don't know or don't enforce the rules.  Can you imagine a first quarter touchdown being nullified three days later.  The fans wouldn't be mad at the players.
          If the IPGA is involved in a weigh-off they need to take every step necessary to make sure the competition is fair or risk the lose of credibility. Uneven enforcement of the rules is just as frustrating as chaos.  But when the officials do their job, everyone is happy and cannot wait for the next competition. 
          As for trading places, I've been an AYSO ref, so I know better.

Brad,
 
As to your question," Would you trade places with me". The answer is no, I would have never put myself in that situation. The call would have been made that day and not a week later right or wrong. Its official but its not a official state record. Come on, thats ridiculous.

Andrew and others,
                             The weigh-off at Hubers is an IPGA affiliated weigh-off.  As is the Indiana State Fair and the Noblesville weigh-off.  Maybe you need to read a little closer.  We accepted the judges decision that day and agreed that Tom was the winner.  
      Andrew, if you bring a 1263 to the weigh-off this year and set the new world record, do you think it should count if it is oozing fluid at a steady rate while it is still on the scale?  If you can answer that yes with a clear conscience let me know.
      For the record, the judges and the host did approach me, the site coordinator, and ask me what they should do.  I told them this is situation we have never seen before.  I also ask them.  Did it pass the final inspection you gave it?  They said "yes"   By the rules the judges had every right to make the decision the did.  I agreed with them in their decision.  However, the question still remains.  Was this pumpkin, that was still sitting on the scale free of damage and rot?  No

Would you like to trade places with me?

Brad
