That was me on the rules proposal. Four size ranges with corresponding ratings if I recall. I've always seen this hobby as a combat sport which shouldn't be hampered by scale factors. IMO the as built size ratings was an elegant solution to the never ending "scale" arguments. Others felt otherwise and implemented the everything gets the 4/40 rating. Not an issue if everything was built to 3' feet as the original intent but now we have all these mighty mites running around and they get 4/40, just like your big old lumbering 1:6 scale Tiger!
