Relying on the good judgement of the PRO is what has gotten us into this mess in the first place. You cannot count on good judgement from the PRO. I have heard a PRO disparage people who didn't want to race as many races as possible. That is not what Hobie racing should be about. The only way to ensure that the system is not abused is to put a maximum number of races into the NOR and SIs. For people (and PROs) who want more races, they can hold extra "fun" races for bottles of rum or something like that.

It's pretty obvious you have an axe to grind with PU, Liza.
Get over it. He's not going to be running Hobie 16 NA's again. I will - at least next year. I've heard your concerns, as well as Mike's (since I was the PRO at the event mentioned above) and will take them into consideration when running future events.
I also think it's time you sat in the hot seat once in a while. You should take the US Sailing courses and become a certified race officer - you certainly have an opinion of what a good one should be.
