I've already posted that I can live with a documented number of races per day in the NOR.
However, what happened in RI that could have been addressed by an NOR?
There was carnage on Day 1, but nothing that a limit on the number of races could have fixed.
As we learned in Tampa, a high wind limit cannot be easily determined by popular vote. On the low end of the wind, again, more issues of agreement (F18 event).
There have been several NAs where the conditions were such that 1/3 to 1/2 or more of the fleet was on the beach, yet races were continued to be started. Is this what you're trying to address? That would certainly take some creative writing, but is probably where one would have the most credibility with the "fair/unfair" concern.
"Fair/unfair" is a slippery slope. Deciding to run races or not can create feelings (justified or not, and 99.999% of the time, NOT justified) of favoritism. Like I said, lots of factors to be considered.
