Laying in bed last night then had an idea for a comp. Basicaly its a team event. So you would have like 3 sailors per team then in the heats you would have team A vs team B. So your team has a one sailor out on the water at the time and you can come and change when ever you like, or you could have both teams having 6 sailors on the water at the same time but this could make judging a bit harder. This way its more like freesailing where try to go big but if you wipeout etc it doesn't matter as much as you have 2 other team mates to pull you out of the s#^t. Coz with normal comps people are conservative in that they need say 3 jumps and 3 waves then they will try to pull big moves off, as they dont want to be swimming after 1 jump and loose 5 mins of a 15 minute heat. And as people are going big it would be good to watch. As there are more people on the water at one time there wouldn't be as much waiting around on the beach when the conditions are cranking. It would also be quicker to run as if there are 30people thats 10 teams, and if each heat went for 20 minutes thats only 200 minutes which is just over 3 hours for a single elimination, which could be easly done in an arvo.
If it got big enough you could even have like a youth, an ameture and a master in each team so it gets everyone involved.
I know comps aren't everyones cup of tea and you will always get that but i think this could help to get more people into them as it would be heaps of fun.
Just though id put it on seabreeze land and see what people think while not a lot of sailing is getting done
