Hi Clint, several years ago, instigated by Jim, we had a lot of interaction thru email with the guys from BGA North. We had 2 clubs, BGA North and BGA
South. There was constant controversy over the rules governing the 2 clubs.
At one time Jim was accused by the North of violating one of the rules even though the rule was not in the Southern BGA book. The North contended that seeing they were first that their rules took precedence. The discussion took place
between many of us for several months. It ended with the North sending a constable down and arresting Jim. It took us southerners several weeks to arrange suitable bail that would be accepted by the North. Bail was finally arranged so Jim was released and could take over his defense trial. It was finally agreed that the North would susceed and separate rules would be followed. This allowed the annual North/South tournament to continue.
