Since this is the first weekend of the season and not everyone has gotten up to speed yet I am sending the confirmations out a few days early so everyone is aware of what they signed up for last spring.
I want to remind all sailors (and coaches) of ICSA Procedural Rule 15. Make sure you verify that all of your sailors are registered with the ICSA database are academically eligible. Teams need to withdraw two weeks prior to an event to avoid any penalties. *15. REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS* a) All student- athletes shall be registered with ICSA and their ICSA Conference prior to competing each season. b) A college team representative shall enter legibly and completely on the Record of Participation Form the names and class years of all skippers and crews who competed, as well as the races in which they competed. Before the end of a regatta, the college team representative shall print legibly his or her name and sign the Record of Participation Form (See PR Appendix D). i) A college failing to properly complete or sign the Record of Participation Form before the expiration of protest time at the end of the regatta, shall be rescored according to PR 33(a) for fleet racing and PR 33(b) for team or match racing. (See also PR 23, PR 24 and PR Appendix D -ICSA FORMS). c) *Use of Ineligible Student-Athlete *- A college using an ineligible student athlete, as defined by PR 12, in competition, or a college which allows a student-athlete to compete who has not met the requirements of PR 13 and PR 14, shall, unless another penalty applies, be disqualified from the affected races, without a hearing, and those races shall be re-scored according to RRS A6. Requests for reinstatement shall be fully documented and sent to the college’s Conference Commissioner, who shall send the documentation, with a recommendation for action, to the ICSA Appeals Committee, which shall make the final ruling (Changes RRS 63.1 & A4.1 or D3.1) (See also PR 23 & PR 24 or PR 25). d) *Failure to Attend *– A college that fails to attend an out-of-conference intersectional event for which it has been scheduled, attends with less than a full team of student-athletes, or departs before the conclusion of the regatta without the consent of the regatta chairman, shall not be permitted to schedule, or compete in, any out-of-conference intersectional events during the next spring season. i) A college shall not be penalized under PR 15(d) if the college’s Conference Commissioner and the ICSA Intersectional Coordinator are notified prior to the withdrawal deadline for the regatta. ii) A penalty given under PR 15(d) may be modified or removed for a compelling reason. Requests for penalty modification shall be fully documented and sent to the college’s Conference Commissioner, who shall forward the request, with a recommendation for action, to the ICSA President, who shall make the final ruling. *Danielle Richards* ICSA Intersectional Coordinator www.collegesailing.org cell.619.322.7512 office. 619.222.0252 fax. 619.222.0528 skype. danielle.richards email.
