The 2007 Lake Michigan One Design Championship series will consist of four regattas: South Haven Invitational Regatta South Haven Yacht Club South Haven Michigan June 9-10th Chicago NOOD Regatta Chicago Yacht Club - Monroe Harbor Chicago Illinois June 15-17th Milwaukee Grand Prix Milwaukee Yacht Club Milwaukee Wisconsin August 4-5th Governors Cup Regatta Muskegon Yacht Club Muskegon Michigan Sept 1-2nd Scoring for the 2007 Lake Michigan One Design Championship will be as follows: This scoring system for the 2007 Championship is designed to uphold the long-held Class Association Fleet 1 tradition of encouraging and rewarding attendance and frequent participation in Class events. In simple terms, it pays to play and play often. The low point scoring system will be used for all individual races and for the season totals. The season Championship will only consider individual race scores from regatta events where four or more S2 9.1 Meter boats attend and compete in that event. To maintain equality between geographic locations and across all events: if a single regatta event completes more than five races, only the best 5 finishes at that event will be considered in each boatÕs total season score. Thus the maximum number of races to be considered in the series scoring will be 20. To accommodate personal schedules and thus the option to miss one event without penalty, season Championship scoring will count the best 70 percent of those races considered in each boatÕs series total. For example: if 20 races are completed, each boatÕs best 14 finishes will be scored. If 14 races are completed, each boatÕs best 9 finishes will be scored. DNS will be scored as the number of boats competing in the series plus one; for example if 11 boats compete in the series, DNS would score 12 (11 plus 1). Tie-breakers for the series will be determined using the most-firsts, most-seconds, most-thirds, etc. system. Trophies will be awarded to top season finishers if more than one regatta event is completed under these rules. Although very unlikely, the Class Association Rules Committee reserves the right to revise this scoring formula in the event of unforeseen anomalies that prevent these rules from accomplishing the spirit and intent of the Class Association.
