Sure but its very easy to argue with a formula into which you plugin numbers you got from a ruler. Whose to say that one rating systems' calculations are better than another's?
That can be said about EVERY handicap system and is the soft spot of every rating system. Pick your poison and move on.
DPN has some significant administration issues that need to be dealt with and what SCHRS offers us is the potential for global acceptance which could lead to a larger resource pool to admin the system, and the bulk of the work is done and managed outside the US.
You might say getting measurements is a hassle and impossible to obtain. I believe this is a weak argument against the system, certifying boats is relatively easy, now becoming an ISAF certified measurer is another matter.
At the end of the day all handicap systems suck a$$, but SCHRS seems to suck the least.
