Many thanks to the organisers at Barrow for the meeting, a real shame it had to be cut short.
I also found the public vote a waste of time as the decision can only be made by the official BRCA regional committee so in some ways it made it more frustrating for the masses who wanted to continue.
I do feel that results based on two rounds if qualifying does not really give a true reflection of the day but having checked the BRCA regional rules it is in fact the correct procedure so we cannot really complain too much.
Heats for round 2 are generally based on round 1 results but due to the indifferent weather this may not be the best way to structure them in my opinion. Personally it makes no difference, i had a very poor two rounds but as I've recently returned I am an F5 so will be in the lower heats regardless but it could cause heats to be massively varied in ability for others if heats are based on two rounds of qualifying from round 1.
Just a thought....
