But Bob, it is "murky" at least to me, else I would not have asked the 
question.  If you refer to other sections of the rules, the to words 
"finish" and "finish line" show up in several places and do not refer to 
"completion".  For example, in 6.2.1.1 it in part reads "All equines must 
stand a mandatory post-ride evaluation within one hour of finish. ...".  
That (at least to this uneducated Appalachian hillbilly) implies that 
"finish" is the passing of the finish line, and not the passing of the 
post-ride vet evaluation (completion).  I was hoping that there might be 
some "refinement" to the rules, other than in the SE we do this, and in the 
NW we do this...I agree that Rules should be Rules and the should be 
interpreted t he same regardless of who and or where they are being used.
One of the best "quotes/sayings" I have seen is (and I am probably not 
quoting it exactly and therefore not communicating correctly) "The art of 
communication, is not being understood, it is making it so you cannot be 
mis-understood" -- a big difference.
