But a zero month post (no two people sailed on same day, any day in a particular month) isn't counted as the month that can be dropped,,,, right? Otherwise the concept to sail right through on and off season gets watered down (I think)

That was my personal thinking, but no decision has been made yet.

I've joked about dropping a month but just leave it as is

What about dropping the best month from the top 5 teams

Next we will be like sailing regattas with Gold and Silver fleets.

Top 5 teams have to drop two best months
Lets see a bit of tanking hit the sessions if that was the case[}:)]
Slide rules would be running hot

Maybe the top teams should 'donate' their best month to another team... maybe to the team that is in 8th spot 11th at the moment (sorry mineral1 )

All joking aside, I like it the way it is. When I see all the top teams it makes me want to push that little harder. Plus you try to rally the rest of the team so the points count. If we start dropping months etc then maybe people wont be as competitive?

Rather sporting of you ol chap, thanks, we can do with a few extra points

As a Mandurah Blob it's a horrible idea, seems to affect us more than most, Kato's chart drops us from 2nd to 5th. (Although some may argue, that's where we belong.)
We're the tortoise team, slow and steady, our worst month (28) is the lowest there, that's how we were in 2nd, so we only lose by dropping it.

And the SRM still stay in 1st.

Had to edit my previous post How dare other people post this close to the end of the month!![}:)]

How would you go being FNQ team, they hold the lead for 95% of the month and a pressure front blows across the bottom of Aus and nails them from 1st too 5th in three days
Being the team they are, bet they will congratulate the top crews in a blink

Too right Mineral it's all good mate, I had a nice arvo today with Cam at his home, even though we live and sail in the same area this would never have happened before GPSTC
Also WOW, how's all the PB's in the last couple of days

I like the "Donate" idea and the drop the best mth for the top 5 is pretty good too. We need to work out a way of leveling out the wind /no wind situation for all the different states. Maybe double points for if you sail during your states "Autumn period" NSW has copped the no wind pretty bad this year and WA just gets lots. Lets all move to Hardies place and sail

Na dropping the best month from the top teams was a joke

"Na dropping the best month from the top teams was a joke "

I still like it.....and I need a new Carbon Boon,Ya need a few points

The idea of leveling out the different locations so everyone has a fair chance of winning is a bit dodgy. The fact is some places in Australia are better for windsurfing than others. No point trying to escape that fact. Its not a competition where livelyhoods and houses are at stake. Its fun. So far no one from NSW has complained. We understand we are from the Premier State and Windsurfing is a hit and miss affair.

Its great the GTC shows where its good to go windsurfing. From the GTC I've learned that the windsurfing dream is to spend the warmer months in WA and the winter months in FNQ.

I totally agree Disco.

My overriding concern is to keep the scoring system simple. I want people to be able to understand it at a glance, even if it sacrifices a tiny bit of 'fairness'.
There's also no way I'll make a major change to the scoring system halfway through the year, because how would you feel if you're in top spot and a new system makes you come in third?

I'm considering putting in a "drop your worst round" system for next year, we can do it as a one year trial sort of thing to see if people consider it fairer.

In the end no matter which scoring system you choose the top teams are still going to come out on top, so why not keep it simple? At least that way lunkheads like me can try to figure out what's happened after a photo finish like we just had for August

P.S. It was great to meet you the other day on the beach

why try to fix it if it's not broken , if you really want to know who's the best ,national championship , ie speed week . some states have better more consistant wind they will allways have better results dosen't mean they are the best,. the way scores are worked out now gives you a good overview off sailors speeds & good places to sail.KEEP IT SIMPLE THEN EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS.

NSW will be back!

The cochroaches will be going to extreme lengths at the end of the month to get some wind. We're up and moving to Sandy Point for the best part of a fortnight to get some of the good stuff with Al.

Thats what its about. Get off your arse and get moving, whether around your state or across the country. Its a big country and all you need is some cash and time to see it. Unfortunately most people either have one or the other.

Yes in WA it's not uncommon to travel 500km 1 K+ return to get a windsurf gfor a weekend perth to gero is very common, and perth to the G and the E are about 1000km, 2 K+ return, more for wavesailing, but same thing
