GPS Units:
Only GPS units that
been approved by GP3S will be allowed for the event. A list can be
found here.
If you have a GPS that
isn't on the list contact me and we will see if we can get it to work for the
event!
We will also have 3
gps units available for loan. They will be given out for the day on
first come basis. It would be best to coordinate with me which day you
will be coming to Cabrillo so I can get a GPS unit ready for you. It
would still be recommended to purchase your own gps unit + Aquapac 218.
Scoring:
Month:
For the month you will
be required to submit 3 sessions. You will be required to submit AT
minimum 1 session by the end of the first 2 weeks of the month. You
will be allowed ONE discard per month. The 2 sessions numbers/stats
will than be averaged and those will numbers will be used in calculating your
score in the respected categories. More details below.
Overall scores will be
calculated from your ranking in the 6 categories. Let's say sailor Bill
ranks 1st in all 6 categories. He would than get 6 points overall
(1+1+1+1+1+1). Sailor Jack ranks 2nd in 5 of the 6 categories and 3rd
in the last one, he would get 13 points (2+2+2+2+2+3). The sailor with
least OVERALL points will win the overall title for the month. Same
scoring system would go for the gear classes, age classes, and discipline
categories.
Year/Overall:
At the end of the year
there will be an Overall Year Champion in each of the gear classes,
disciplines, age class, and of course Overall.
The scoring will work
the same way like the month. For disciplines, sailor Jack ranks 1st in
August for Alpha @500m, 3rd in September, and 2nd October. He would
than get 6 points overall for Alpha @ 500m (1 + 3 + 2). The sailor with
the least points at the end of the year in the discipline will win.
Same scoring will be used for all other classes/overall scores.
Just for clarification, regarding overall scores. A perfect 1st
place month would require the sailor to get 6 points overall (1st in every
discipline). If he gets 2nd across the board in the next month than he
would get 12 points overall. In total he would have 18 points in the
OVERALL YEAR Category. You will also be allowed to have 1 discard (pick
the month you dislike the most!)
Disputes:
If you have any
disputes please contact me ASAP at KevinSdo@gmail.com or Jack at Jack@coilmenplus.com
If you have disputes
regarding scoring you have (1) week from the time the scores for the
month/year are released to contact one of the moderators.
Awards:
As of right now there
will be trophies awarded to the top 3 in the following categories:
Year Overall
FreeRide Year Overall
FreeRace Year Overall
Slalom Year Overall
I'm hoping to get more
awards but I'm paying out of pocket and can't afford that many trophies!
Also working with potential sponsors to provide awards to the Top 3
Overall.
Safety:
GPS Speedsailing can
be a very dangerous sport, any sport where you play with mother nature can
be. While not required, the GPS CS event committee highly recommends
that you wear a helmet/appropriate eye protection.
Also if you plan on
using a weight vest, please be aware of the inherit dangers of using one and
ensure you are in proper shape/condition to compete in speedsailing.
Sailors who refuse to provide help to
those who show emergency signal will be disqualified.
Thanks:
Much thanks goes out
to Jurg @ WindsurfDeal and Philip Newmarch (Hot Sails Maui Team Rider) for
providing us with GPS units for the event! This event wouldn't be
possible without your contributions!
