So, contrary to what anyone here might want to think, we are not being treated differently just because we have more than one hull.

So they want to put no money in. They want to draw money out of our event. And they want to tell us how to run our event. Makes perfect sense to me.


USS owns the rights to Alter Cup. If that's correct it is their event. Plus, they have $1.67 mil in current receipts to budget for how many championships less other expenses which are paid from dues. As a gross amount that's $41/person give or take.

I'm beginning to lean in favor of USS, I just wish it was easier to dig up information.
