I do not see that the RM has any particular advantage over the other participants. Obviously, they would not be able to score their own submission, but I am sure that a willing volunteer could be found to do that task.

Perhaps this could be discussed and a decision reached at the 2023 Annual Meeting in November ??

Given the GT is time bound I think knowing the rules in advance of everyone else and be able to see results ahead of the deadline are certainly advantages.

Personally I have always disliked that rule. The only way it would be an advantage is if someone like John Frick was the RM...He is always in the top spots because he is retired and rides ALLOT!! Anybody who has been in charge of the GT in the last 10 years it wouldn't have mattered.
