AERC does not control all matters concerning ride management.  Whether or not 
a cutoff time is imposed is strictly up to ride management.  And, as a ride 
manager of over 25 years experience, I sincerely hope we RMs continue to have 
some control over our own events.  It would be rather dull, wouldn't it, for 
all rides to be conducted exactly alike?  The rules that are imposed by AERC 
are put there to protect the horse and make the competition as fair as 
possible to all riders.  How the RM implements the efficent flow of the event 
is up to him or her.
