The college and pro divisions will be strictly Shootout rulesets (one for pro and the other college) and those will be handled by Michael Robertson and myself, respectively. MantarayDre will be the administer of the solitaire division and I know he would love your insight on rule selection. The thing is that the ruleset should be based on those who are coming to participate. It's nice when guys want to help in creating rules, but we want the people especially who will invest their time to come here and participate.

I kinda like something like a random draw from the various rulesets and 1-hour running clock games must be played, using someone else teams. Just a thought???

This is why public steering is needed. We all know how we play but it helps to have steering of the rules and suggestion.

Reg,

The more I think about it, I agree that we should have some basic rules in common. For instance, maybe we can have the 4 grams weight limit from shoot out. Or perhaps we can use the shot out rules timing so games don't drag on forever.
