Justin, a few weeks ago several of the skippers had a discussion & decided to get rid of drops, as we did a couple of weeks earlier when we stopped counting DNS/DNF scores within the drops.
It was noted on the writeup of DF65 racing a fortnight ago and feedback was asked for re the new scoring system.
None was forthcoming so I assumed today would be no different. If some skippers don’t like the new scoring system then you need to discuss it with those that do and come to a decision.
It is a democratic society and everyone gets to have their say, but when they say nothing decisions get made by others.
