Well obviously my efforts to close this thread are being ignored because this is the type of BS the Moderators apparently want to have on their message boards... Speculated wrong-doing and attacks on the integrity of judging and the current world champion. NOBODY on this entire 30+ page thread has stated any FACTS of rules being broken. Only their own controversial explanation of the rule.
A lot of people on here have absolutely no idea what they're talking about, a few of them actually do and are the only ones that are providing FACTS and not "well, i think".... "I think" isn't going to win you any court cases, ladies and gents.
I really would like to know if anyone has contacted David Gibbs about this issue, or anyone involved with BD.
this is not breaking the rules, nor were the Bluecoats breaking the rules either, yes, his voice was distorted, yes by amplification of 2 devices, but it was NOT his normal voice. DCI did nothing to penalize them, and this was, by far, more audible to the audience and judges than BD's devil laugh.
Some of you, although a very small percentage, are on this thread to discredit the BD's credibility of winning in 2007 by attacking them on this rule. Well guess what, they didn't break any rule.
Innocent until PROVEN guilty.
