Registration is now open for US SAILING’s 2010 Rolex Miami OCR! (Visit www.wimra.org/regatta_detail.asp?rk=234 for more details.)

Women’s Match Racers must register online at RMOCR.ussailing.org prior to December 1, 2009.

The maximum number of teams that will be invited ("Event Quota") will be 24. In the event that more than 24 teams register prior to the December 1 deadline, the following rules (from the Notice of Race) will be used to determine allocation of spaces:

3.10.For any event in which the number of applications exceeds the Event Quota on midnight (local time), 1 December 2009, the following procedure will apply.
3.10.1. The MNAs of the applications received will be sorted in Priority Order, based on the order of each MNA’s highest appearance on the ISAF Sailing World Cup final series standings for 2009.
3.10.2. Ties in the Priority Order will be resolved in favor of the MNA with the higher appearance in the most recent SWC event(s) in which any tied MNA appears. Remaining ties will be broken in favor of the MNA whose entry application was received first.
3.10.3. Entries will be accepted, as follows, until the quota is filled:
3.10.3.1. One place awarded to the host MNA.
3.10.3.2. One place, awarded in MNA Priority Order, for each MNA with a remaining entry application.
3.10.3.3. Repeat 3.10.3.2 above until the quota is filled.
3.11. If an MNA has more applications than awarded entries, the MNA will decide which applications fill the available spots.

More details about additional practice time will be released shortly from the US Sailing Center Sheboygan (www.ussailingcentersheboygan.org). Their fleet of 8 Elliott 6ms is currently en route to the Miami area and will be available for training to all RMOCR registered teams during the week of January 16-20 (and also February 1-5 after RMOCR). Details regarding fees and registration will be available shortly.
