I did say 'event' in the example and then go on to talk about club level, sorry if I confused the issue ,  was just trying to give some sort of example.

Sounds like Hobbiteater and iGRF should get together to form the "Chip on my shoulder SC", where people can compete against each other in whatever modified boats they fancy, choosing their own PY nos, and only first over the line counts anyway. Oh, and there would be no rules of racing, no race officer, safety boat duty rota, park your boat anywhere you like dinghy park, as anyone who tries to introduce some control would be thrown out for being too bossy.

I suspect that other man's grass tends to apply with these things: its instructive, for instance, to read the Formula One regulations... I also just checked up the rules of Golf, and it seems they come in a 220 page pdf, whereas Rugby's playing rules are a mere 212 page pdf, with 20 or so more pdfs of regulations to match which look as if they could easily be as much again...
