Proposal title
Reduce the number of tasks required to validate a championship
Existing text
4.3.3 The title of champion shall be awarded only if there have been at least 6 separate valid tasks in the class.
New text
4.3.3 The title of champion shall be awarded only if there have been at least 6 separate valid tasks 3 tasks (1 economy, 1 navigation and 1 precision) in the class.
Reason
No one wants to see a championship fail to be validated.
Often, Meet Directors faced with poor weather forecast, will do anything they can to get 6 tasks in, and lose track of the meaningfulness of those tasks.
The current rule is intended to make the event more meaningful, but in fact it can lead to the exact opposite.
Why should an event with 3 good tasks that have an element of economy, precision and navigation not get validated?
