The
rolling 12 month ranking will include any event that took place, in part or in its
entirety, within the 12 months of the start date of the event in question,
based on the normal ranking and discard rules. This will give a more balanced
opportunity and will eliminate the current bias towards events at the start of
the season and the particular conditions that exist at those venues, giving
equal value to all events that a competitor has taken part in during the last
12 months,
Qualifying Round – The Qualifying round at events will usually be run
with 2 heats of 4 sailors with the top 2 sailors in each heat qualifying for
the main event, but if time and forecasts permit then a more comprehensive
elimination system may be run giving sailors more than one chance to get
through, however this will only be run in exceptional circumstances.
At events which are massively oversubscribed, and where time permits,
the trials heats may be expanded to include more sailors at the discretion of
the PWA to a maximum of 12.
