What are the Australians doing with Silver Category FF's?

I was just reading what the Aussies are doing with Silver FFs - they have some Fleets that are built entirely on Silvers. At FFI they have a rule which says that silvers are 2701-3200 and in the UK we are keen on 2700-3400. The Australians seem to have adopted a rolling formula - they have just gone to a definition of Silvers which is 2700-3329.

They describe the formula as "half the number of sail numbers less 2700, then add back the 2700".... Interesting !
