My feeling is that any irl yacht club would promote participation, so I don't have a problem with that (although it probably works against me).

After a race, the winner gets 1000 points, last place gives 1 point. When a race is 30 days old the ranking points from that race is starting to fade out. After 12 months (to eternity) the race gives only 5% of the original points. Total ranking points is calculated as the sum of all races participated. The ranking is only processed about one time per week. Note: The ranking system is preliminary and is subject to evaluation.

Guys isn't it an idea to make the nr of points dependent on the nr of entries per race? As the more entries the harder it will theoretically be to win....

Please, I want a limit on the "participation bonus points", like 1000 points (20 races).

I like the rankings now (obviously ;-), but as we are very even on the top, one missed race would mean giving up several placings...

Also, it is a bit funny, that in a race with less participants, the points difference between subsequent placings increases. For instance, if a pair mixes 1-2 finishes in two races, that who wins the race with _less_ participants gains an advantage in points.

Dear Laiska,
It is hard, lonely and cold on the top I guess. As much as we really appreciate your tricky situation and fully sympathize with you I am afraid that we cannot help you at the moment. However, since your case is so strong and moves us at heart we will discuss your suggestion in future revisions.

Regards
Jakob

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
