Well deck scupper size?

Big enough to let a handfull of soggy leaves get through, semi circular with the flat bottom flush with the deck and as big as possible 

 

I imagine this could be the problem with one way flap scuppers if the deck is not kept clean.

 

I'm not sure if I agree that any scupper should be as big as possible. There comes a point at which waves hitting the bow or hitting at an angle to the bow will come through an oversized scupper. It should just drain out again but potentially if you're hit by a series of waves or wash from other vessels then it might not get out quickly enough before the next wave. Anyway, I've just reduced mine from the size of half a cantaloupe melon to the size of half a small grapefruit which I think is large enough.
