FORMAT
Subject to weather conditions, competitors will engage in a continuous
round robin with no limit to the number of races. There will be no
separate championship series, and there will be no rotation of
boats—each team responsible for its own equipment and sailing in the
same boats throughout. Weaker teams may be augmented by coach
participation as deemed appropriate by the race committee. The race
committee will endeavor to get as many races off as possible offering
the greatest exposure to team racing possible.
RACING AREA AND COURSE
A triangle-windward course will be set in Redwood Creek.
SCORING
Scoring will be in accordance with Appendix D, except as modified by
the Sailing Instructions.
COACHING
Coaching will be allowed between races, on or off the water. There
will be no coaching during the races.
PROTESTS
Races will be officiated by the competitors and by on-the-water
judging by selected regatta personnel.
Protests not covered by competitor exoneration or by on-the-water
judging will be heard as soon as possible by a coach or committee of
coaches. Protests will be determined by “60 second justice”, each
competitor having “30 seconds” to explain her position to an officiate
and the decision coming immediately thereafter.
Decisions made by on the water judges and by 60 second justice are
final.
TROPHIES
Trophies will be awarded to the top three teams.
