Boy, I don't envy Mike Karwoski's job. The arcanery of the rules must be exhausting to follow and damn near impossible to learn.
BTW, Mike, if your out there, go ahead and stand up at the front of the room while giving an interview with the national media. It's a hell of a lot more professional.
Just an idea.
