Thread: PDR Racer State Titles???

12th August 2007, 11:22 AM #16
Howdy All,
There have been rumblings in the wider PDRacer world about just this topic and they are working towards having a "postal race" at the same time as the yearly world championships.
The upshot is that at the same time as the Normal PDRacer World Championship each year there will be a
SAME DAY - DIFFERENT PLACE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
Idea is that everyone who wants to can sail 5 miles - measured point to point through any number of points - in an area of their choosing within a 3 day window of the world championships.
The results will be compiled and a winner announced.
Experienced sailors will see immediately that there is no chance of this being a completely fair event. Someone will get just the right wind and run away with it.
But what it does is create what could be quite a big annual web event.
You can read the draft rules and comment on them here (if you comment you comments will be visible to a few hundred people)

Or to look at the previous discussion of that and other topics go to

Of course there is nothing to stop us from doing this at a national level as well. We will have all the local hotshots looking over maps, checking prevailing winds, plotting points and calculating angles. Then weeks of whinging and complaining after. Just like a real national championship!
Best wishes
MIK
