I don't agree with the high point scoring proposal. It was discussed at the
fleet meeting and not approved. There are relatively few races to be scored
in the SF30 fleet subset of the HDA races. We don't need any special
incentives for those races. If you don't make those few, then you are
really not racing at all. All the other races stand alone and the scoring
system is irrelevant.
