The buddy system is a good idea, in the B14's they used to split it after day 1. 1st place with last, 2nd with 2nd last etc. Then for the remainder of the event the buddy teams can win daily spot prizes for combined team points.

The problem with that system is if you are in the middle of the fleet.  Someone will get buddied with the guy one place in front and there may be divided loyalty when asked to co-operate with the guy you are having close battles with.

Buddy systems ???

A great idea :)

But someone has to "Manage" them :-[

If someone would liek to"Mange" a buddy sytem at the nationals now is the time to step forward ;)

I have just stepped backwards 10 paces ;D

But I would give my mid fleet Buddy every help, even on Port n Starboard to get us both up the fleet :o

So as with all these "Good Ideas" they are only as good as the time someone is willing to invest  :'(

You're not wrong Titch, and I haven't got any. Just supplying an idea thats all. Perhaps one of the newer members could help out, especially someone who has experience of this sort of thing.
