(2) I support a more rigorous test for TDs, Marshals, and anyone designated as an official during tournament play. The current open book test is adequate for players; however, the person adjudicating a player's appeal should be better versed in the rules than the average player.
Technically that would have my full support. Practically, I am not so sure it is a good thing to raise obstacles for people wanting to put the time in to be TD. Different requirements for different levels of tournaments, could be a decent compromise.
