Well, I had hoped that people would see the point I was trying to make without resorting to the gory details of the rulebook but here you go:

A. In order to qualify for end of season points and standings, Novice racers must complete 4 hours of community service to the club (see Sections 4.5.E-H.)
I guess I interpret that a little differently than you guys do. It doesn't say that individual weekends (or individuals' results) would be wiped.

All I'm asking you guys to do is to think about how this looks to someone who raced and didn't or couldn't do their novice hours. Just for a second, put away your "I walked uphill both ways to school when I was a novice" mentality and think about it from a different perspective. Lose end of season points? Yes. Lose end of season standings? Yes. Lose every shred of evidence on the MRA site that you actually raced? No.
