If I did not know better I would think you are trying to cause a controvesy here woody
. So just to clear it up for you...
A lot of teams do not travel but instead stay close to home. Many paddlers want to experience other festivals etc but also enjoy the team they are on so they will join another team (who may be missing some paddlers since not all paddlers can afford the time or money to go to an out of town festival) for an out of town festival. There are also many DB clubs that have more than one team so the DB club combines teams together for out of town festivals. For example, Alpha merges their two teams together for some out of town festivals, so in the rankings which Alpha team gets the points? Roli, Synergy, Subaru (minus the dog) are the same way.
Nothing out of the ordinary here, maybe you should try paddling on another team for an out of town festival, expand your horizons, meet new people, learn new paddling techniques
. Spice up your life, a life with no spice is just plain. If you haven't tried it you may be missing out on something.
Chaos, how do you decide which DB club team gets the points when it is a merged team (if you know it was a merged team)?
