As for the Tornado ballot, I voted against the proposal. While I sympathize with the likes of Darren Bundock & company over the concern for super-lightweight crews showing up at light wind venues...I don't think this is a major threat to the well-trained teams. I don't like the idea of changing a long standing tradition in the class just to accomodate an abbrerant situation (Qingdao). It is unfair to penalize the light teams in light air venues while no such penalty is prescribed to heavy teams in high wind venues.
