[QUOTE="SPL Blazer, post: 6564643, member: 587873"] I see what your saying Craig, at the same time if we let competitors jump from AM to Stock and back so that a whole team isn't filling a class it will be better for those not on a team. If you came out for your 1st comp and there were 5 competitors in AM2, three of them are all on the same team and win 1st-3rd, do you think that new guy is gonna want to come back to a 2nd show if he knows he'll get beat by the same team members again? Someone would be much more likely to keep competing if they think they have a chance to win at a future show. It's all part of competition to work and get louder, but for someone coming out for their 1st show they may not have that "SPL bug" that some of us got when we 1st came out to a comp. There is a rule on only being able to compete in a class that fits your system, for just the reason your saying. But, Amateur competitors systems can also fit the Stock class systems, it's more a matter of experience level. I don't think it would be fair for a rookie competitor to be banned from the Amateur class they belong in because they wanted to see what they could hit on a burp. [/QUOTE]
