That seems fair. If there are reasons, like the ones you listed above, and they know they're still in, just on the sidelines for a solid reason, no reason to eject them. The new revision you've suggested would simply weed out those that quit. <br /><br />Thanks for posting the February update, too. I'm having so much fun with this! :)Kristine E.

Riders who do not submit miles for 60 or more consecutive days will be disqualified from competition. <br /><br />To Read:<br /><br />7). Riders who do not submit miles for 60 or more consecutive days will be disqualified from competition as abandoning the Derby. Riders who have not ridden in 60 days may continue to compete as long as they make notation on their bio that they plan to continue the competition.<br /><br />I put that rule in there mainly for those who abandoned the competition. I did not want them to take a placing from those who continued to ride to the end but maybe just not put in as many miles. <br /><br />Would those who are reading this agree? I know Peggy is down with a broken ankle and she will be back. I know one gal is waiting for her mare to foal and doesn't want to ride her at this stage of her pregnancy. And I know my husband has ridden twice and did not had a gps once and was in an arena the other time, but he still plans to submit miles when he can. I'm not asking for the exception for him - those who know him know he couldn't care less. LOL. <br /><br />Anyway - those who are tuning in - what do you think of the revision?<br />Tammy Vasahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01531335275070860886noreply@blogger.com
