I'm trying to persuade our CC captains to consider this BOOST type of a handicap race. The format proposed above was too much like the last CC, which some teams didn't like, and don't want to repeat anything like it.
In a BOOST type of handicap race, each team is given the same goal of points to reach. At the start of the race, each team is given a unique BOOST (handicap) of points, suited for their team (based on past CC performance). The most productive team, will have zero for a boost.
The goal of the BOOST is to try and get every team to finish the race at the same time, with the same number of points. Which never happens, but it makes for an exciting race, imo. Both big and small teams can do well in this kind of race, perhaps with an edge for the big teams, imo.
Anyway, this is what a spreadsheet of it might look like, with the teams from last years CC, with a handicap BOOST
