Not too make the issue more problematic then it is but I personally do support discard (many not so many) and I really don't think that class rules should be used to rule on this matter. It should be left to the event organisors and of course the sailors (who can voted with their feet).

I couldn't disagree more. Individual TT events are entirely up to the organisers - that is perfectly normal. But we were discussing the Nations Cup - and it is perfectly normal for classes to set the format for Nationals, Europeans, Worlds etc.
As to sailors voting with their feet, that comment is completely idiotic in a situation where we are trying to build class numbers <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
