I agree, and if I had been solo, then I'd have played the safe game and stayed well clear. Then no one can label you a level buster. But my FI was quite sure he was in the safe doing so. I think I'll ring them myself to get an answer - I don't wish to ask my FI as he is the boss of the club and I'd rather not show that I doubted his actions were correct when I could get the same answer, but doing so myself.
