Hey Mark -

The Multihull Council does not administer the Area Qualifiers - the Area Reps do as part of their volunteer work. While it is true that the Area Reps make up almost the entire excom of the Council, they actually run the eliminations for the Multihull Championship Committee. The Committee is free to decide to change handicap systems.

To put it another way, the Council can't tell the Committee how to administer the Championship or the Ladder Events.

And, Lee - let's chat soon. I'd love to get your perspective.
