 YES        

8. WAF has changed the rule, whereby if both competitors agree to start in either straps, referees grip or both they may do so. Should the CAWF do the same?

9. Are you in favour of cutting the referees to 5 on Saturday (2 tables plus kids table with 1 ref). This would save the host $300.

YES         

10. Are you in favour of having referees and scorekeepers having to share rooms. Each person must share a room or only have 1 1/2 nights covered as opposed to 3.This would save the host approx $2000 - $2500 depending on hotel cost.

YES         

11.  Are you in favour of allowing "elbow bumps" whereby if a person's elbow lifts vertically off the pad without gaining an advantage. If the elbow comes off in the winning or losing position it is still a foul.
