Hi Bill,
An excellent run down for the future rigging Competition rules.
However, may I add:
The ramp has to conform to the International M15 Rigging Competition
Rules and Specifications, otherwise there may be a bit of hanky-panky
going on - you know; short ramps vs. very long ramps, where the short
ramp launcher obviously has a distinct advantage getting his boat afloat,
while the long ramp person may have to back up for half a mile till his
trailer tires are under water. This would be patently unfair.
Therefore very specific ramp angles, widths, surfaces have to be
specified to keep the competition fair for all.
Of course, if contestants use different ramps, then we will have to
evaluate all these various ramps against the Official Specifications, and
depending on the ramp, access a "Ramp Launch Time Allowance" to the
contestant.

I wish to apply for the bikinis and beer category; and as an old geezer,
perhaps a mandatory short nap in the cockpit, midway during the rigging
process also be a mandatory part of the competition. Comments?
Now, for the pro M15 Rigging Competition category, will Indianapolis 500
or NASCAR type pit crews be permitted? Any limitations? .....no
Bikinis? ....no beer? With special rigging tools and equipment; or just
with a pair of needle nose pliers and split rings? Do all boat hulls
have to have a racing number on the side? What size numbers?
Is commercial sponsorship advertising permitted?
I've already talked to Harry Potter about this, and he's willing to lend
me some of his house elves if they can speed up the process. If I don't
win he also told me that I could borrow his magic wand, and he would
teach me some new spells........... So look out! This is getting
serious.
