Bait Additives and Ground Baiting in Competitions

#1 Post by gitboy »

i heard the IFSA at their a.g.m have introduced or (re-introduced) the use of bait additives and groundbaiting in to their competitions for next year
Questions: Is this true or just a rumour.
Questions: If true, what are peoples feelings on its introduction and how it might impact on the way competitions are run.

i personally am a bit dubvious of its introduction, mainly cause i am firm believer of equal playing conditions during competitions.
Luck is when preparation meets opportunity..

The EFSA AGM is not on until this weekend, so it couldn't have happened this year with EFSA, I was also at the IFSA AGM and there was definitely no mention of it there,
