Ack!!  Let me see, uh...  NO!!!   But with that said, uhhhh... yes. They are

One Management will always tweak the rules to level the playing field.  
Remember, Bernie wants both championships decided on the last lap of the last 
race of the season.  That way the paying audience sticks around and watches all 
the commercials, sees all the "RBS" signs or whatever.
