Unless I'm misreading DJWcoach's post I don't see him advocating a state rule or guideline. It seems to me he is saying each club should act responsibly. Maybe I'm just not following his post. Once you open yourself up to state guidelines for invitationals you better be prepared for more than you want. Another question who is going to track all the novices and what if any punishment will be handed out for those who do not comply? Our elected officials have enough to do with running this organization and keeping up with their own clubs needs.
