I feel very strongly against predjuducial treatment of anyone who in the spirit of this great hobby(sport),
would like to have a chance to compete in any contest for the betterment of ourselves.
Lighten up, we are here to have fun.
I for one, am in reasonable physical condition.
I love HLG, but would sorely miss flying if I injured myself and could
not compete.
The chances are pretty good that sometime down the road, all of us
will injure something.
Is everybody willing to forever give up competing in HLG if they get
hurt? I am NOT!
The more folk we can get flying the better, and the more our sport(hobby)
will grow.
Those who would abuse an alternate thrower rule would quickly be recognized
and changes would necessarily be implemented.
As far as limiting the contests to 2 per year with a doctors note.
This is not taking into consideration, the people who have long term
injuries.
There are many who cannot afford,
or prefer not to spend 50-100 bucks for a $10 contest, (me).
Maybe we just injured a shoulder, back, leg, brain?
Does it really matter.
I propose this rule implementation;
If someone needs help throwing,
I suggest that the CD announce and ask for volunteers .
If no one wants to throw tough luck.
If the CD can get 2 or more throwers,
then the volunteered would go into a hat and picked at random for each
round.
No favoritism, all fair.
I appeal to every flier to E-mail their views to get this rule changed.
I sit blindly by, building in my cozy shop, but the world is changing
before our very eyes.
Open them up, and say something....
Thank you,
Nowell Siegel
