I think that this actually makes the argument for changing the rule to go to the Wednesday System. The boat that gained places the most is Liberty Prevails. Why? because she came out and raced the most. This is what we should be encouraging.

HHSA Racers,
I ran the Frostbite Summary using the DNC scoring as in the Wednesday series. The main impact was caused by which races were thrown out. The effect was that for several boats the DNC score was higher than that of the highest race score(s) for that boat. This result had the effect of lowering the boat's series total.
The first four boats were unchanged. The last five boats were unchanged. One boat gained 3 places, 2 boats gained one place, 1 boat lost 2 places, and 2 boats lost 1 place.
Enclosed are the two frostbite series summaries.
BTW, if Revolution had taken a DNC instead of a race committee score, she would have dropped 1 place in the official scoring and 3 places using the Wed DNC scoring.
Using the Wed scoring for the Frostbites makes the DNC score the driving force in the series scores. A boat that comes out for only one or two races really drives up the DNC scores for the rest of the fleet. Don't change the rule!
Cheers,Hank
