I would vote....but
What's up with the coverage? Am I the only one not knowing what's going on? I read all the stuff on the site + everything I could find on the official site. And I still know nothing. What site do you goto to get info? Was Karl given the red card?  I just want to know what's going on.Last edited by Seal; May 30th, 2003 at 19:18. |

Hi Seal,
He came up clean after his performance (in fact with much air left). The problem is that because his poor english, he didn't understand the time to confirm his performance. He arrived late to confirm his static performance. They said he couldn't compete, but after all he compete and get the best score in static (72.5 points). After that they said that is not valid. Isn't fair

What was his time?
And yeah it sounds unfair, I get the idea that the competition has been a bit blurry in it's rules. Seriuosly when will they make a system that everyone can understand? The sport will never be fair and respected if they don't start beeing more clear in their system and rules. Well that's my opinion anyways,but since I have never competed I probably shouldn't say anything. |

His time was 7'16"
I can understand some rules, like LMC and that. It's just to keep people conservative. But this one sounds like burocracy

I wasn't there, but if it was as you say, I think there should have been some flexibility. One has to know when to bend or even break the rules sometimes.

hi
Hell yeah of course his performance should be accepted, but im confused has everyone already done their performances or something ie Martin and Herbet and if so did they all do smaller than 7:16, I thought the way that everyone was talking that the wr was going to be broken. Very confusing cheers

hi
This is what I can gather, Martin did 6:00 ??, Herbet did 7:15 but got disqualifed, Karl 7:16 clean, Timmo 7:30 clean. Timmo announced 8:00 so there will be some penalty. Is Karls 7:16 without penalty enough to give him the win points wise, although Timmo did the biggest performance. What happened to Herbet doing 8:27 and lots of 8:10's, what about Misfud who did 8:02 at the nationals. cheers

Frank,
With respect - Karl was told by the AIDA judge from Colombia the day before (when she sat with him for a long time) that the deadline was approaching, she told me this herself, she was reassured that his subscription would go in three or four times......it didn't. There was no language barrier as the judge was from Colombia herself....... This is so sad because Karl has a fantastic static performance. But let there be no doubt that he was informed in plenty of time in his own language of the situation and the subscription deadline. Crispin  |

Ivan,
Since Karl missed the deadline his performance is not officially part of the competition so he gets NO points with regards to the official Static competition. Unofficially his performance was great though. Shame

Hi Crispin,
I don't know the details of it, I wasn't there. I just know what my brothers tell me. It's very weird that he travel half world, just to miss a dead line for static. for your post, you think he knew the things completely rigth. I don't think so. Why will he miss on purpose the deadline?. The only reason of his travel was the static competition. I understand your position, but for me still is an stupid rule.

Stupid or not, burocracy or not the deadline is there, so WHY ON EARTH DIDN`T HE JUST SIGN IN??? I mean it can`t be that difficult hence he`s been reminded of the existance of that rule, so he knew it...
 OH BOY, I`m really sorry for you Karl and congrats anyway for the time, next time just go sign in, man! Respect for the perfomance, greets Joe |
Why oh why?
