Drop-a-day

You don't drop a day of the whole contest, as if it were rained out! *Each individual pilot gets to drop his worst score. Let's read the rule: (good explanation snipped...) John, thanks for clarifying the rule - but if it isn't "dropping a day", perhaps we should call it something else! Personally, I don't agree with your assumption that it will change the way most pilots will compete - I think most will still try as hard as they can and not even think about being able to get a WDSA added to their score. Ow, my head hurts! And the rule seems to go against the fact that short contests are more luck prone, while longer contests allow mistakes to be made up (or gives other pilots a chance to make mistakes...). Like the old "add 15 minutes" rule, I'm not convinced this option fixes anything that needs fixing. Kirk 66 |
