2018 Annual Tech Items

Cmc will continue to have enough drops to cover a full weekend, no changes there.

I know I'm an anal-retentive pain in the ass, but:

Last year there were six events and 23 races. That gave 5 drops (4.6 rounded up) which allowed dropping a bad race beyond missing an event. Two, if you skipped COTA. With five events this year (assume 19 races), that would be a change to only 4 drops (3.8 rounded up per the 20% in the CMC rules). That doesn't allow for a bad race if you skip an event.

Probably not all that relevant. There was only one person that attended all the events last year and there wasn't a battle for pretty much anything at the end. It used to be a really big deal and I have hopes that it will be again...

The cost of COTA I assume will cause several to skip it. Then as you said just one bad race and you are done.
