There's alot of good points here but there getting off topic from what I'm asking. Aside from when someone should bump or not is not the question!! In a perfect world after everyones bumped to pro my question is what are the RULES for The leftover sportsman?? If it's all real sportsman in the class and no sandbaggers then I still don't know the rules!! I'm talking about if I was brand new to 1/8 nitro and I had no friends, how could I find the rules to follow?? If I'm new I couldn't know the unwritten rules and I couldn't know any guidelines so I'd be lost.
