    Not really - since there was one more "or" type question earlier, from Noel.
    "My boxer won his title at lightweight or lower"
    ...so there were still two divisions left. Asking whether a boxer won a title below Super Featherweight - or above Featherweight - would've done the same thing.

    I hear You though, it certainly can affect the game so I'm happy with it being disallowed. I've just seen other people ask questions in such a form and it being answered without comment - so I didn't think much of it.

    I think asking a multipart question is asking two questions but it only counts as one.

    I’m fine with it but I wish I had known it before.

    I think an above or below is of a different nature @Mastrangelo — functionally in this case it could have been worded that way, but as worded it looks to me as if it’s asking one.

    If we can do it that way, all of my questions will probably be multi-part going forward.

    There were quite a few "or" type questions earlier in this thread, usually regarding weight-class - but each time it was something that could've easily been asked worded differently without any "ors", with the same effect:
    - Did Your boxer win a title at lightweight or below?
    Is the same as:
    - Did Your boxer win a title in divisions below Super Lightweight?
    or
    - Did Your boxer win a title in 105-135 divisions weight range?
    etc.
    My case was similar. I don't think it goes against the spirit of asking one question at a time, nor it gives any advantage.

    Perhaps it can help narrow down the countries a bit easier without having to be creative using the terms like western hemisphere etc., but I still don't see it being a game-changer.
    The boss will decide, but I'll be genuinly curious to see how much You can do with it in the next round, how much advantage it can potentially give if used right.

    Doesn’t much matter @Mastrangelo — I’m headed out of town today, then back tomorrow and immediately on the road again for a few more. I probably won’t be able to participate before the 15th round ends.

    By the way, since everyone went quiet - I hope it didn't come off as if We were arguing in here?
    Sorry - I just find silly things like this interesting, game theory and all that ). It's nothing serious, all fun.
