Guys.
I have never asked for receipts. Basically what that rule is there for is if someone came up to us and put in a official complaint. The complaint being that someone is not in the class where they should be. There are many scenarios to which that can happen.
AND I am not talking about the person who recieved birthday gifts. I am talking about the competitors who know they have gotten free stuff or are sponsored and still decide to compete in lower classes.
Then it would be my responsibility to investigate and ask for proper documentation.
All IASCA is trying to do is keep a fair playing field.

If the prize was available to anybody, which normally they are u dont need to compete in a higher class if u win it.
Really at any competition it comes down to honesty and integrity. Were all out there to have fun but like I said before there are the occassional bad apples who decided they have to bend the rules to win. These bad apples are the reasons for some of the rules we have today in any organization.
From NASCAR having to weigh each car at end of the race or test the fuel to catch the cheats or pro sports where athletes are tested for performance enhancing drugs. IASCA, DB, Meca, etc are no different.
But I have to be honest I have been all over the World doing events and I have only had a couple of problems with people being in the wrong class for the wrong reasons. But overall I find that the sport we love and the people(competitors) who are involved are top notch and are there to have fun.
