First lets see how Jim would have scored in the cup :
DNC by bigger boats do not count, so these points are NOT included. Only boats that raced are included.
race 1; Jim beat on elapsed time = 2 HT's (out of 5); 1 I-20 ; 1 H20 and 1 Nacra 5.5
race 2; Jim did not finish.
race 3; Jim beat on elapsed = 1 HT (out of 7); 2 H20's ; 1 nacra 5.5
race 4; Jim beat on ... = 4 HT's (out of 8); 3 F18's, 1 I-20, 1 H20 ; 1 nacra 5.5
race 5; Jim did not compete
Race 6; Jim beat on ... = 4 HT's (out of 7); 1 F18 ; 2 H20
race 7; Jim beat on ... = 1 HT (out of 4)
The result look kind of funny because these race saw alot of DNC's. In race 7 only 7 boats race.
The points :
Jim race solo, which is extra challenging and therefor the singlehanded score sheet applies :
http://www.geocities.com/f16hpclass/david_and_goliath_cup.htmlrace 1; = 8 + 8 + 4 + 1 + 1 = 22
race 2; = no points
race 3; = 4 + 8 + 1 + 1 = 14
race 4; = 16 + 12 + 8 + 4 + 1 + 1 = 50
race 5; = no points
race 6; = 16 + 4 + 8 + 1 = 29
race 7; = 4 + 1 = 5
Total = 120 points in 5 races
This will put Jim at 3rd spot behind Geert/Raymond and John/Sue but ahead of Neil and Amy-Jane
That is if we were still keeping score.
BTW anybody notice the high score in race number 4 7-8 knots. !!
Anyways, we have stopped keeping score in early 2002 as I had to devide my own time over other issues and nobody offered her or himself to replace me in this.
Also not everybody send in their results; after all we were all very busy at that time to get started.
Personally I like the idea of the cup and would like to see it revived. But somebody else will have to gether the results and sort them on elapsed time and score them.
I also think that with the addition of the sailors in South Africa, Australia and South Asia that we can get a good cup going. We have more crews now than we had back then. And also more of us have more prey classes nearby (Australia for example, same applies for the USA by the way.
I have a few proposals to improve on the way the scoring is done. So who would like to take care this little task of keeping score ?
