Seems to me the person that sails the most consistantly should win. If Joe's worst finish is a 5th, and John's is a 25th (which he throws out), why shouldn't Joe win?
John had a bad race and still was rewarded with a victory (no breakdowns, no one interfered.., just a bad race and it happens to everyone once in a while).
I know I took second in two major nationals on that exact basis -- my worst finishes were around 5, while the winner was throwing out numbers in the upper teens.
Sort of a socialistic or communistic rule. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
