They are very fair. Maybe we can learn from others. I guess we can rewrite our rules.

I like this one, I wish I had wrote it.

Is double bulb the same as deep staging? Why is that a problem? Does it offer a competitive advantage? How? Thanks

Some people stage deep so they can cut a better light. I stage deep when running on a Pro Tree (.500). This will put me into the teens on a Pro Tree. When Running on a Full Tree, I will put both bulbs on and then bump in one time. This will give me semi good reaction times.
