FrankyBoy Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Martin closed it on his first attempt. I'm still working on the video. Video capture wasn't that good this time but I think I have a suitable still shot. Its not easy to get a good video if a gripper is at the maximum crushing level.

GarytheDino Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Franky, weren't both of you certifying today? I know what you mean with the video.........crushing the gripper is only half of it unfortunately. Guess I get my shot at it in 2-3 weeks.

Bill Piche Posted April 3, 2005 Author Share Posted April 3, 2005 This one went to the judges. After clarifying the rules for the MMG1 with the judges, Martin gets the green light. Let me clarify again with the history. We had gotten started with the MMG1 and we ran into a "set depth" consistency issue. We had yet to start the MMG2. Since several had already certified with the MMG1, and allowing a deep set, we felt that changing the rules to be more strict mid-stream for others was not cool (no rule changes mid-stream!). So, we decided that going forward for the MMG2 and above that there would be strict set rules. The set must clearly be shown to be parallel at the start of the close. The other hand can't block, yada yada. There's a picture post in this mashmonster forum that shows what parallel is with a gripper from various angles. Anyway, so for the MMG1 and lower we would ask that the "spirit" of the strict set rule be adhered to, but it's not a requirement for cert. Thanks everyone. Congrats to Martin!
