Please explain a bit more...? If we're dealing hypothetically that it isn't just graft, I'd think spreading out the costs to a larger base makes sense.

But the reality is probably true. How would USS keep track of regattas and their potential revenue?


Firstly why should every regatta attendee pay extra for a race they most likely, won't do.Kind of like socialism.Screw that.
Secondly, From this threads info it seems the money that is there gets split up to make it less effective already.But who's to know for sure, nobody will come right out and say how it works.
Thirdly, when have you ever seen money arbitrarily charged for a service that has worked fine before the charge, actually work.
I'd say raise the USS dues before jacking up regatta fees. At least then the people who want it are paying for it.
