Jody, that's it in a nutshell.  Our AERC champion (or champions, if we do
it by weight division) should be the overall points champion.

I have no objection to AERC sponsoring an annual head-to-head competition
as well, for those who wish to ride that sort of ride.  It's no different
from having some of the other forms of competition that we have within the
sport.  But to call the winner "THE" AERC Champion simply does not fit
with what this sport is about.

The onset of weight divisions would alter the old system somewhat, as it
would likely be best to have a Top Ten in each weight division, instead of
our old Top 25.  But it would be nice to give some added recognition to
the overall Top 25 ranking as well.  (And the winner isn't always a
featherweight--somebody posted the overall points list last year, and if
memory serves, Crocket Dumas would have been #1.)
