The change isn't for the two best team members on the day, it's the two best results on the day in each division. That means you could end up with 12 members contributing, not likely but posible.

Now I'm on a 2 man team, but I'm guessing if I was on a bigger team, I'd feel a little guilty posting slow times and dragging the team down. I know that's not the spirit of the comp, but reality.
Now if I could post and not drag the team down, and with the posibility of contributing to a division, I'd be a happy camper

So the new format starts July 1 2007.
Is this right Hardie and Ben?

Oh please do divulge the culprits, instead of all the innuendo just speak up.

There are rules already and people are playing within them- you're not happy, a change is proposed you're not happy.

My one and only concern here is that people aren't posting their times, because it hurts the team average to do so.
I don't want anyone to ever think that they aren't worthy of being in their team. This is what the change should alleviate. You post, and if the score helps, then it's counted. There's never any question of posting, and the other team members rousing on you for dropping their average.

I don't believe that there are any people whose scores would never be counted... but if they do exist, then isn't this an incentive to put up that bigger sail, bag it out and grit their teeth that little bit harder? Or get that planing exit? Or simply sail all day to get the max distance score (my secret strategy ).

People who have logged on in the last day or so might have noticed the new hyperlinks to the "personal bests" page... without spelling it out explicitly I see this as the way forward... (Shhh!)

Hi All,

Sorry I haven't contributed to the debate but I have changed job recently and they have a really strict internet policy at the new place!! (fascists!!)

Anyway regarding the proposed rule changes:

Doesn't matter which way you score it. (As long as the prises are drawn randomly, Karma will provide!)

BTW This comp has added a lot of fun to our sailing. Thanks for organizing it and the website.

Cheers,

Simon

Team Whippet



PS Nebs, I think you might have something there with the personal bests
