That's more than fair, but good luck enforcing it.
Tech would be a nightmare, we all know what lurks within isn't always what it seems to be.

that is good...but instead of 90days it should be the point cutoff...like no new products are allowed at finals unless they were released before the points cut off

Wait, what is a Real Member. Just asking not to cause a fight. Im trying to be positive here by suggesting something. Dont be negitive Bob, lets let some other people see what they think.
Real members are those who are currently paid members. I dont see anything negative in my last post.

No Bob, really, I was just asking for clarifaction. Not to start a harsh arguement.
The reason for my post was to make sure that any aspect of "Commercially Available" that affects my dealings weather it be Business or Personal is clearly spelled out and I/We will follow the set guidelines to a T.
Thanks for your input,
Ben

We are working on this. Does anyone have any suggestions that they would like to contribute? Remember, the goal is to ensure that the products are REAL consumer products that are available for anyone to purchase if they so choose.
ShockingCanada ... Last warning. You slander me (or anyone else) once more and you are history on this website. Moderators take note.

Use the one of the many buyer's guides and a outline, and then have any of the manufacturer's email you as to any additions before the cut-off date. I'm sure that any competitor that is using equipment that isn't listed in the buyer's guide will have no difficulty convincing a manufacturer to send you a simple email about the product.
And to cut down on "custom" product, do we need to mandate a certain number of a product sold before it is considered commericially available, for example 10-15-20- even 100? Kind of like the homologation rules in stock car racing during the 60's and 70's? I'm sure that the manufacturer could provide these receipts in the email when they notify you about the product. This would prevent some manufacturers from putting a huge MSRP ($5,000+) on equipment when they are selling them to select competitors at significantly below that (or even giving them away for free as part of a sponsorship).
