Neues ISWC Speed Rulebook

Hat mich erreicht, bleibt immer noch die Frage für welche Events...?...

Zitat von Speed:World:Cup

Dear Speed Sailors,

the 2009 edition of the ISWC Speedworldcup Rulebook is online, and we want to draw your attention on the most important changes.

1. We are using the same base factors for the events (factor 3 for worlds, factor 2 for continentals and factor 1 for national events). For pricemoney events a factor of 1.0 is added, as well as for events with provisional timing and information about the current standing for riders and spectators. If both conditions apply, a factor of 1.5 is added. This shall encourage organizers to put price money and/or to invest in infrastructure and better services for the competitors, but also enables us to discover new venues with changing wind directions, where traditional land-based timing is not possible.

2. We have introduced a minimum participation level for national events of 10 competitors to be included in the world ranking.

3. The maximum number of competitors in world and continental championship events is 60 on a 500m course and 45 on a 250m course. This is to ensure better conditions for the sailors on high class events. The seeding will be based on the current world ranking.

4. The following riders are qualified by default for major events: top 5 worlds, top 5 production worlds, continental champions, plus top 5 from the current GPSSS 500m ranking.

5. Due to this limitation of starting slots the fines for no-shows have been changed. the default fine for a no-show is 50 Euro, for the top 20/6 (men/women) it is 100 Euro, for the top 10/4 it is 200 Euro, and for the top 5/2 it is 400 Euro. It is so easy to inform us in time that you cannot participate and then we can give your starting slot to another interested competitor. Please be fair !

6. From 2009 on there is no WSSRC commissioner present on the events by default. The records are so high and the chance for a new record during competiton so small, that the costs for WSSRC supervision are not reasonable.

7.For the 2009 world ranking, each riders individual results count, up to a maximum of 50% of the total number of events in 2009.

Enjoy riding, and see you on the water !

speed:world:cup news

Dear Speed Sailors,

due to organizational problems we need to postpone the Mauritius event
until further notice. One of the main issues was, that the national
flight company has dramatically reduced their flights and we can not
guarantee shipping of all equipment in time. We tried to arrange
alternative boat transfers but it was impossible to get a guarantee
for proper timing. We are still working on it and the event will
definately happen in the future.

Karpathos has thus been confirmed now as 2009 one-off world
championship, which means that the winner of the Karpathos event will
be the 2009 world champion and collect 475 points for the world ranking.
Registration will be opened shortly, please do not book any flights
before your starting place is confirmed.
Starting places are limited this year, and seeding will be done by the
world ranking. More details will be send to you with the registration
forms.

We will also confirm soon the status of the remaining major events, as
well as possible additional national events.

The updated schedule can be found here:

All the best,
your Speed:World:Cup Team
