2018 Footy Champions League

Picture
Once again we will try to include as many Footy events in our Champions League as possible with the season building toward the Footy National Championship in September this ear to be hosted by Frensham Pond MYG . Hopefully this will encourage the best of the enthusiastic clubs around the county to come forward to compete. The scoring system and points will count from the following competitions The Footy Nationals, any three Footy Opens highest points to count and four club league races the points between club races and open competitions will be interchangeable, however these will not be transferable to the National Event.


Club Reports
The points scoring is as follows
Club Events:- Maximum Points 4 to 7 races - 90, 8 to 15 Races - 95, Sixteen+ Races - 100
.
Open Competitions:- Maximum points - 120
National Competition:- Maximum points - 150


For all qualifying events, the number of points awarded to each competitor shall be calculated on the basis that any event winner scores maximum points. Each successive place position scores a proportionate amount of the maximumpoints.  The differential between each place, and the last place score, is calculated as the maximum points divided by the number of competitors.  The points in the published Champions League tables shall be displayed to one decimal place. 

With the support of Roger Stollery the Novice Competition will also continue, trophies will be awarded to the highest placed Novice at each of the Footy Opens, however the overall prize will be awarded to the highest placed skipper within the Champions league competiton.

Well my predictions for 2017 never came true with Peter Shepherd once again retaining the Champions League Trophy, it was a close start to the season with John Burgoine and himself being tied at Fred's Big Toephy john winning on points, however it was all plain sailing from there with Peter S picking up the Mad March Hare, Bassett Lowke, Videlo Globe and the MYA National Trophies to secure victory again this year. There have been a number of great skippers come through the ranks of the Footy class in recent times, Rob Vice, Hugh McAdoo, Mike Ewart, to name but a few  my regret is that whilst many have stayed on in Model Yachting sadly few come back to challenge todays crop of skippers even for their local event denying us the opportunity to race against some of these past champions.

This year there is a new event being hosted by Aldridge MBC (formerly Sandwell) the skippers there always provide a friendly welcome and the perennially youthful Sid Sims is an ardent supporter and traveller to class events across the calendar. 

IBEX came at the start of the year for two Abington Park skippers and I am determined to retire Fat Boy this year and make the switch so look out for three of them on the circuit this year, it should given everyone a chance.
