OK the title might startle some who know me.
Ring Final rules.
What is the intention behind the rule "no more spurs than points on the ring".
I think most of us who have run rings would almost exclusively put every point on a ring and no spurs at all.
Spurs are then usually just additions.
One spur max per point.
One spur allowed at origin.
If I saw a ring with say 12 points on ring and one ring per point and say 1 point at origin that would be 12 on ring and 13 spurs that would not worry me.
In fact if I saw say 5 points at origin it would not worry me either.
If I saw 12 on ring each with one spur then 5 spurs at origin then 11 spurs on joints between points woul I worry?
No I would not although this "golden rule" would have been well and truly broken.
I think the rule intention was purely good housekeeping to keep us all on the straight and narrow.
In fact some on here have mentionded a ring in a loft with junction boxes dropped dow to spurs. Therefore all spurs and not on ring.
Note I did not pick the number of 12 points on ring for any reason, I could have picked 5 or 50 or 5000.
