	To make rankings more interesting, it might be a good idea to have more than one SYC ranking list. The idea is to have different division split by experience and time spent on SOL, so that less experienced or competitive driving SOLers are still able to compete for a place in the rankings. A new SOLer would start in the "Entry" devision and work his way up the rankings inside this devision. The top boat of the devision eventually enter the next higher devision. The poll is meant to figure some scheme for this that might be considered fair. If there are other ideas next to the options in the poll, please state them, so we have your input to think about... _/)_/)_/) The sea is lovely, dark, and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to sail before I sleep, And miles to sail before I sleep.
Poll: Should there be multiple SYC divisions and how should they be done? Yes, 2 devisions with the top <n> boats moving up every <some number of races> Yes, 2 devisions with the top <n> boats moving up every <some time interval> Yes, 5 or so devisions with the top <n> boats moving up every <some number of races> Yes, 5 or so devisions with the top <n> boats moving up every <some time interval> No, don't change the ranking as is No, I have a better idea (please post here) Show Results (You won't be able to vote.)

	Good idea. Maybe we could have one division for SOLers who use routing/weather software and one division for those without? Cheers.

	viking: Not sure it would work (as my lieutenant in the airforce used to say: Trust is good, control is better).

	Yes good idea, voted for 1st choice... Rookies and Pro sailors Rookies change division after 50 or 60 races

	LOL. I see your point there Kalle... Just a thought. Would have been interesting though. Cheers --- Last Edited by theviking71 at 2010-08-02 09:41:04 --- --- Last Edited by theviking71 at 2010-08-02 09:42:47 ---

	If Eddie is able to do this, Great. My experience on SOL was like this; Joined last year this time; First 15 races Average finish 120 Next 15 races Average finish 106 Next 15 races Average finish 59 I then started trying to better my worst score in order to improve my overall rating, presently around 23. I moved through the ranks so to speak! My only reward so far....Experience

	I am all for it. In fact, I've been working on an outline but work got in the way. I'll try and post it here tomorrow or the day after so we can discuss it. Thanks for the heads up. Philip

	Totally AGAINST it, i personally don't need the glory of the podium, and IF i leave some good sailors behind me, occasionally ( because they sleep lol)i am happy... But, IF it would be possible to have a ranking NON- SOFTWARE users versus Software/Routing users , THAT would make sense to me!!! Calamity

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!
