For races with a rating, everything should be strict.
Only registered racers are participating.
What is not strict when a registered skipper 10 minutes late to be replaced by a vsk-team spectator ? Is it correct to wait or to cancel an event ?
Now imagine at race 3, you have an emergency at home, visitor, kid crying, electrical failure, disconnection, tired, ... Do we must cancel the event ? Do we must require reason why you were disconnected, why you want to skip one race, ... ? Remember it is a friendly event, not the world championship.
Today there are already many riders who are with each other who can form stable teams.
Yes it is why I proposed you to form the "Dream Team" with Magnar
and I would like to add Alb in it.
The event format allows to organize meetings (stable T / stable T) or (stable T / random T) or (random T / random T). The stable team has only to stay on the water.
Now the races are like a fleet with match racing elements, there is no team help. we need to develop team combinations already.
When I MR, it is because I am 4 or 5 and want to keep the pos. When I am 1 or 2, I may trap . All that is to help the team and consequently to save or to improve the combo. Not you ?
Anyway, the Admin may do what he wants and everybody
might read the description before to join.
