Difference between World and National

Now that it looks like my two favorite race groups OSS and SBI/APBA will not be attending each others "Worlds" I am curious if someone can explain how your national race will be differnt from your world race.

a lot of racers have looked at this, but apparantly they can't explain the difference either, so it is no wonder us fans are confused

no we are with you with separate worlds , they are just a repeat of nationals but they do have a multiple race format usually 2 races or in 2004 they had 2 half races and 1 full race makes it interesting but not as good if we were all racing together but if it can't be worked out so be it

The National title is a accumulation of point for the year, and for your stands for the Hall of Champions.
Worlds is the start of a new Year and awarded to the team with the most points for the three days of racing.

A true World Champioinship in any sport is where competitors come from around the world to compete. This is not the case in Offshore. Period.

There was some headway being made a few years back to align Internatioinal rules. However it's my opinion, that lost steam as the boats are split up into two distinctly different race groups.

Well Said.
