No. I think that conflict is now gone as I read the current rules. In the past it was sort of similar to restrictions for the arrc. Didn't that have something about runoffs drivers not being eligible?

I think it was likely to encourage regional Participation. Certainly for IT it is not much of an issue.

Greg do you know of any stats on which path folks took the runoffs? The majors seem to be the more direct/sure thing. Also least expensive in terms of events.
