Fwd: US SAILING: Ranking System Determined For 2006 US Sailing Team
All;
The Ranking System for the 2006 US Sailing Team is posted at;
_www.ussailing.org/olympics/2006/rankingsystems.htm_
(http://www.ussailing.org/olympics/2006/rankingsystems.htm)
The press release is pasted below, but please refer to the link above for
the precise details, including scoring, tie breaking, and qualification for
subsequent events (scroll all the way to the bottom). For Laser and Radial,
please especially note that the qualification for the World Sailing Games is the
2005 Rolex Miami OCR *ONLY*, while the qualification for the 2006 Test Event
in Qingdao is the Ranking System in its entirety. Also note that the
Ranking System for Lasers and Radials are different from each other.
We get two entries in each class at the Test Event and we get one automatic
entry into the World Sailing Games, but we expect to get a second entry as
well. Further, it is quite likely that both Paige and Anna could be invited to
the World Sailing Games from the ISAF Ranking lists, in which case we may
get as many as two additional entries (four total).
Additionally, the 2006 USST Rankings will also be used as a qualifier for
the USA berths at the 2006 Radial Women's World Championships in California and
the 2006 Standard Laser World Championships in Korea. The exact number for
World Qualifications will be announced later in conjunction with the ILCA-NA.
Finally, there will be modest grants based on the USST Rankings and, as
usual, the elite athlete health insurance (EAHI) will be awarded based on the
ranking system. Other benefits of the USST rankings include shipping, coaching
and sports sciences services.
Please let me know if you have any questions. See you in Miami.
