Re: Speaking of rule changes, I'm kind of horrified by this new rule: blindfolds?
I agree with bats, hard to call. If you are completely blind is it unfair to expect you to complete against some one with limited vision? I know people with physical disabilities are categorized as A B or C, why not do the same with sight limits rather than further disable them with blindfold
