Lee, You're name is Lee, correct? After the initial number for a boat is created (which is measurement based) the number changes based on the data received and processed, that's how DPN is supposed to work.

Problem 1, data has always been VERY hard to come by, and it's everyone's responsibility to submit results but only a small minority make the effort.

Problem 2, Darline wanted someone to take over the DPN task long ago and NOBODY stepped forward. So, she did the best she could for us.

Problem 3, and this is our biggest problem APATHY, it is rampant and it is our enemy!

Now we can sit here and say "I pay my USSailing dues it's USSailng's responsibility to take care of it" Maybe it is maybe it's not, at this stage I don't care. The point is if you want this issue addressed "WE" (the sailors) have to address it.

Personally this issue isn't high on my priority list, handicap racing is for pu$$ies. Why people give so much cred to handicap results is still a bit of a head scratcher for me. Yeah, yeah... the area quals use handicap racing to pick the area reps...bring me something that satisfies all the requirements and I'll be your biggest fan.
