Spring Fever 2009
Explanation of our two-day scoring for those only able to race on Saturday & Sunday or Friday & Saturday
As of 1/30/09
Since our first Spring Fever Regatta, we have offered a two-day scoring system for those sailors that were not able to arrive in time for the Friday races. In an effort to allow those sailors that could sail on Friday and Saturday, but not Sunday, we are going to use the same two-day scoring for them as well.
What are the rules and how do we calculate these scores?
We average all of the races (including the throw-out if there is to be one,) scored for the two days, whether it is the Friday and Saturday races for those who let us know in advance that they will not be racing on Sunday or those who don't arrive until Saturday and then race Saturday and Sunday. That average is then inserted into all of the race scores for the day that was missed. After that, the throw-out is taken off of the final score.
There are a couple of rules that we do not deviate from:
• If the skipper is here on Friday and chooses not to race, for whatever reason, his Friday scores are entered as DNSs. If he arrives late and cannot possibly start the first race(s), if he notifies the RC that he is racing, his Friday scores will count and the missed race may be used as his throwout or be averaged at the discression of the scoring committee.
• If someone needs to be home with the family and can only race on Friday and Saturday, and, provided they tell us at time of registration, we will score the same way for the missed Sunday races. Should they change their mind and decide to race on Sunday, they will be welcome to do so but their actual scores for Sunday will not be counted, only the averaged scores will be used.
• This information will be posted along with the SSIs on the bulletin board prior to the start of racing.
If you have any questions on this, I'll be glad to get an answer for you. .....Mr,Ernie
