First off I'd like to say that I apologize to anyone I may have offended in any previous aggressive postings. Secondly, if you wanna find my posts they'll now be listed under the name tortuga. I was thinking that the Ranatra Fusca award is pretty prejudiced against structure problem teams. A structure team can spend all their time reading the problem, and coming up with a loophole, and not get rewarded for it besides holding a lot of weight. And THEN they are often looked down upon or given a spirit of the problem violation penalty, when all they were doing was "Thinking outside the box", which in itself is the spirit of OM. I think there should be an award to either whatever team holds the most weight, or whichever team has the most creative structure, or has found the loophole. But that's just my opinion. -Noah Simmons
