The Albacore class modified the standard racing rules for their recent NA's at Rock hall. They chose to change this scoring code / points. ... A DNS/DNC was scored as number of finishers plus 1 versus the standard number of entries plus 1.

Obviously, if you have a blow out day... and many don't sail... they are flushed from the regatta competition with a large score. With a score of number of finishers plus 1 or 2 .... they are still in the race.

Is the strong argument for keeping with the standard racing rules.... IE... if you raced in the big wind... and took a chance of breaking something... you SHOULD have a big lead on those that did not race.

Thoughts??
