Question Title

* 32. IF SKIPPER IN Q3: Last year VARC changed the scoring criteria for the Overall Boat of the Year Championship (BOTY). Previously, BOTY was scored on a boat's best 3 Regatta results plus their best 3 Distance Race results with 3 of each to qualify. This year, BOTY was scored on a boat's best 10 out of 17 "Regatta Day" scores in which each day was scored separately and there were no minimums to qualify. Southern Straits result counted with a 2X multiplier due to it effectively being a 2 day race? What are your thoughts on these new scoring criteria.

Very Good Idea/Really like the new format
