If the BOD really feels that they should remove the disqualifying restriction from the performance areas, why don't they take it a step further and remove the color white as a disqualifying fault from the Standard? > By removing the restriction from the National requirements for the highest awards, the only thing they are allowing the whites to do is win the title OB Grand Victor/Victrix, they would still be High Combined.
