This happened at a race at Bowling Green. Everybody got cheated by the race director. Reaction time plays a big part in our sport, but not for setting up the ladder.
Larry, every division director has his own way of operating first round at National Opens. I recall the race at BG. Quite a surprise that a racer who I admire and respect tremendously received a bye run first and second round. REMEMBER, everything is at the discretion of the division director..
