You guys can slice it / dice it and defend it.....all you want.
Its a dumb rule.

In the old days , even if you missed the setup on Sat. , your spot would carry over from Fri. unless you were bumped out of the last spot , last session , Sat.
What Sundays show SHOULD have looked like , was the 2nd session from Fri. With the exception of Alan P. everyone was at least a 6.80* or better.
No way Wescott gets denied to run the show on Sun.
Dumb rule.

This is exactly the reason for the current qualifying method. If someone missed the setup on the best session, they were screwed! None of the other sessions really mattered.

I wouldn't say I love the current rules, but there are arguments to be made in its favor.

Hi,

Not trying to take anything away from Wescott, but if he had run quicker than a 8.87 he would have made the show..........

I have all the respect in the world for the Wescott's, but they knew the rules for qualifying.....

They are not complaining about not qualifying and I wish them nothing but best in the future.....

Unfortunately the rules are the rules...
