Bill Gown admonished me, "I think you are being way out of bounds as an
Event Coordinator if you
DQ a competitor for having a glue joint in the prop spar. Props break.
The Ikaras break and the blue or gray plastic props break. It should
not be against the rules to repair a broken prop."

Sorry you feel that way, Bill. But give me some credit to be able to
distinguish between a repaired prop and one that's been purposefully broken
or cut so its blades could be re-pitched. Actually the matter has never come
up in any of the contests where I've served as event director- yet.
