Sort of agree, but some of us don't have lap tops or internet connections while traveling, it could be hard to post within 48hrs sometimes.
Perhaps on such occasions some notice could be sent in advance to warn of possible late postings and the reasons why.
its been a while since last post ,
not everyone especially on the west coast has perfect wireless connection , not that many golden archies !!
the 48 hour rules is silly , we have a hard enough trouble getting people to wear a gps , let alone post.
it is about fun , not pressure about meeting some deadline to post .
What happens if you are a way sailing for two weeks , no data !
I can say that the here in perh or WA it is not a viable option and would make people move away from the site / sport
it has always been about fun , learning and sharing , have we become an apple or gates![]()
We have had some times when the 7 days after the end of the month rule has proven difficult to meet -- people were emailing files to the captain for him to enter, I've had requests for extensions of time, and that's with the existing rules! I can't imagine what it would be like if we changed this to 2 days.
To my mind it's pretty obvious if someone is gaming the system, and those people have to live with other people calling them unsportsmanlike. This is far more of a deterrent imo than any 2 day rule.
My vote is to keep it as is.

Thanks again to Lao for doing the icons, if I had to do them myself then I'd still be staring at a white screen in photoshop ![]()
Love the icons Nebian (some may not )
As a div 4 sailor in a div 1 team I seldom get an icon.... rather than manually tracking them down in the sessions is there a way of seeing how I did last year, how I am going this year etc?
Any chance of evets and me getting our profile pics back?
I've tried reloading mine, and they appear in the edit page, but not in the public page.
Bender's and Sam's are there, so it's not a general problem.
Could it be something to do with when last loaded?
Any body else missing their profile pictures?
while your at it Nebs could you develope an easy to use software(nothing to do with gpstc) where on the desktop there are just 3 big buttons to click on, "email, Internet,Photos i've got mates ringing me all the time on how to use their pc's the classic was how to scroll down a page.
With gpstc could you add some back ground colour or have an option where we could do it?
Instead of writing your gear on the table each time do you reakon we can in our profile type in all the gear that we have and when its time to lodge your times you can click on the gear that you have used and it shows up automatically , just like on the GPS speedsurfing site ...Just an idea....
And also whata you think about putting an extra category "500m" , That is the allrounder speed distance and not easy to accomplish , i reakon this would be a good test for eveyone...
Whata ya reakon guys...
Firstly, love the new contributor icons Nebs. Nice work.
Not a completely serious suggestion but I sometimes wonder what it would be like to have a classification for Formula within GTC which doesn't affect the eligibility of the figures to count towards team score but allows them to be tracked in a separate PBs section/table. All categories are harder on formula so can't be compared together with speed/slalom results.
Us wind starved folk in NSW often get our speed fix in the prevailing light NSW winds by seeing how fast we can make a big rig go. ![]()
Y'know, a category wouldn't be that hard to add, and it could cater for some other suggestions as well...
For example, the categories could be something like this:
* Speed
* Slalom
* Wave
* Formula
* Longboard
What do you think?
