If you want A(s)Ts called, get a CD who will call them... and be
prepared to live with the results. You and all your buddies have
crews, right:-)? Exhibit A would be day 6 at Open&Stds. I don't know
what happened (no report as yet) but the score sheet makes pretty
clear it was some version of an AT gone wrong.

I haven't ever heard a complaint about lack of ATs while at a
contest. In fact the only place I've heard it is right here on r.a.s.
