Who disagrees with the Unmanned rule?

First topic message reminder :

like it says

"Topic Name Edited by USACI"

It wasnt against the rules, and it was oked, so more power to them, but this will be the next big thing, just putting it out there.

or a festiva lol

Those might've been seat backs, not tracks.

Just a little broken is all they were.

lol ok

so what if i brought my pie can i put her in there HEHE j/k

Pie can't hold mikes.

mikes?? sure they can but i think they prefer Miller instead

Seems to me that the people really making a stink about losing the mic monkeys are just pissed because they lost an easy db or 2.

For myself I really don't care, I actually lose with somebody on the same side as the mic. Not that I really have usaci shows in my area anyways.

But back to the topic at hand, the people who are in favor of the rules seem to be the guys that will just work harder and make up for the loss in scores. The people pissing and moaning are just looking for another way to manipulate the sensor.

All this talk about tubes, mic monkeys, "broken" seat brackets, removing vents, playing test tones with a beat over them for SB, etc. makes usaci seem like nothing but a bunch of rule benders/breakers. And to top it off nobody cares about the integrity of this sport (or their own integrity) until after they are busted.

Sure it is a bit of bad timing on usaci's part, but you guys should have seen something like this coming. It seems as though others have been prepared for it. Were the rest of you just hoping that nobody would notice? I thought the whole mic monkey thing was a joke from the first time I saw it. Nobody needs to be in the car during a 160+ db burp, it's pointless and dangerous....unless, of course, you know that it's good for a 2dB gain.

Very well put. Some guys are really taking it hard.

Seems more like the people who are for the no mic monkeys don't even compete in USACi

Rules are Rules.........................

Unfortunately you are right about that in my case. I don't have any shows in my area that I could attend, but I think that's beside the point.

The only reason for mic monkeys was to see an easy gain on the mic. They really served no other purpose. A little stand can hold the mic in place.

Can you really justify having them in there for any other reason besides gaining a few dB?

This is one of the things that seperates us from other orgs. Only beef I see anyone having about the new rule is timing.

And all these people are saying we are looking out for the welfare of USACi. If that is the case compete.

I honestly wouldn't be proud to be a competitor in an org. that uses a human to manipulate scores.

Guess that's why there are other orgs.

And guess that's why they're generally louder.
BTW, I do both.
No disrespect to anyone but it is what it is.

WOW I didn't know people gained that much. There is a diff of .2 DB for me manned
