Traditionally the USSA Area Championships have used the USPN Portsmouth Ratings tables.

My reading of the Area Championship rules would allow any regions to select an alternative handicap racing system.

The choice is between a Portsmouth scheme (USSA) or a Measurement scheme (SCHRS or Texel)

The philosophy for running the Area Championships using a handicap system is to allow ANY sailor to FAIRLY compete for a slot in the USSSA Multihull Championship for the Hobie Alter Cup.

So..

Would you support your Area Championship switching from a portsmouth system to a measurement system? WHY?

If you support a measurement system... Which one? and Why?
