I would just bring a copy of the rules to shove in his face. Rules are rules.
And yup, no problem.

i agree with you on that: sometimes the officials don't take the time to read the rules, and its really annoying, because you only get 50 min. and you don't have time to argue with them about stuff that they haven't even read

First off yes, always bring a copy of the rules in case you wish to talk with a supervisor about something you feel was against the rules.
Second off, if the supervisore continues to disagree, DON'T ARGUE. Just say that you need to go see your coach, and file an appeal (but don't go through the appeals process unless it is REALLY bad). If the supervisor doen't like you, he can do just about whatever he wants. Always be overly respectful, use your sir's and ma'am's.

well then idk
sry
do u know why we have to use a field guide this year?
it's cuz some stick-s**t at nationals last year took the test, circled in his database where all the answers were, and gave it to his cousin who was taking it next or something, so they decided to change the rules to a field guide.
this makes no sense watsoever because ppl could just to the exact same thing w/a field guide
and any moron can look things up in a field guide
it takes a real moron to make an entire database to look things up in
i h8 this event
