Some good reading in there KVes80. My Dexta have a look at these for rules - freely available for all.
Lots of good sensible things in there and interesting to see that the 10points per aspect makes much more sense when broken down as in these rules. Good that the straightness total is not averaged out although this might well be the one aspect that needs to be 20 to stop bunching around 7 points. If 1/2 points are to be used to decide then better to go to 20.
Some draconian rules in there for VM - depth wheel no more than 4” wide and no cutting ring allowed. Not sure about all starting in the same direction with the higher number on the right though. Surprised straightness is not a vintage aspect. After all a good number of us think that that is where most of the skill lies.

All good food for thought from a well thought out document which is well presented in general.
