To add another point of clarity to this topic.....
Before the vote was made to take away coaches passes (a negative form of punishiment) there was an amendment to give the clubs that had stayed a third pass and let the clubs that left early keep two passes. The idea behind this motion was to reward the clubs that had stayed without punishing the clubs that signed in and left. I personally thought this was the fairest option.
The state body voted on this and this idea was defeated by 1 vote.
I pass this on so that everyone understands that there was a lot of discussion and some additional ideas discussed prior to the voting on the measure that was passed.
Also, please do not hold Randy responsible in any way shape or form for this. As stated earlier he is just the messenger that posted the decision on this forum.
