Re: Is it time for some outside the box thinking?

Some will get more points, some fewer. Adding more paddlers to the calculation changes the step size for the points difference between places so at the top end paddlers (host and PU) except 1st will make a gain, and the lower end they will lose. If you only concentrate on the promotion end it is ea...

Providing the event is not full before this time. I like the PU system of guar...
