Main principles • Based on ISAF principles • http://www.sailing.org/isafsailingworldcup.php
• Same scoring system as ISAF SWC adapted to SL • http://www.sailing.org/worldcupscores.php
• Using existing SL Sailing Racing Calendar • http://zatzai.com/calendar/com.php
Main advantages • No need to add new events, new organization, staff, … • No need to manage sailors subscription and complex spreadsheet • The SL Sailing community acts as a whole • Activity and event are fairly shared between clubs • More competition, better motivation • Simple and already possible, we just need to decide it !
How does it work? • In the existing SL Sailing calendar, we choose 21 events per class boat, and declare them as being part of the official SLSA-WC • It already exists more than 200 annual events per class boat: 5 Fizz regattas a week, 4 Tako regattas a week… • The 21 choosen events are selected taking into account 3 TimeZones (eg 7 in each). • For each regattas, we use the usual point system (0.75, 2 …) • Then we apply SLSA WC scoring system (1st: 5 points, 2nd: 4 pts…, 5th: 1 point, 6th …:0 point)
How does it work? • Standings are displayed in participating YC after each event:

- A competitor may not enter more than 10 events - If he does, he doesn’t gain any point, but may influence overall ranking (others) - Best 7 are used for overall ranking - In case of tie - between 2 sailors: Final MATCH RACE - between more than 2 sailors: Final FLEET Regatta
Next step ? • Just decide it! • Could start officially at the next beginning of Sailing season (Q4-2009) and end Q2/Q3 2010 • The « coming soon » (?) 2009 Fizz World Cup could help to validate the principles as described.
