TSA Youth Circuit 2016

2016 Double Handed Events

All fleets—including Optis and Lasers—will be part of events designated “Double Handed”. Likewise, double handed fleets will be a part of all the TSA events not just those designated “Double Handed”.

*Events designated in the schedule as Double Handed Events will concentrate efforts on increasing participation in those fleets to get more boats on the line at a few specific regattas.

With the goal of increasing participation in double handed sailing, while at the same time ensuring that sailors can still be competitive in single handed fleets, TSA has adopted the following scoring change for 2016:

• For the 2016 TSA Circuit, the Laser Fleets and double handed fleets will score the competitors top 5 regattas in order to determine rankings for the TSA overall circuit position.
• Any sailor that sails more than 5 regattas in their Laser Fleet or double handed fleet, shall keep their 5 best finishes for the fleet which will count toward their overall TSA circuit results.
• All sailors in these fleets must still compete in at least 7 TSA events (in any boat) to earn a participation award and in order to be considered for an award in the overall Laser or double handed Circuit.
• A sailor that sails only 5 or 6 TSA regattas, will be scored below sailors that completes 7 TSA circuit events (e.g.  5 events in their fleet plus 2 additional events in any boat).

TSA is making this change in order to allow Laser sailors an opportunity to sail double handed boats as their 6th or 7th events without hurting their standings in the Laser fleets.   By doing so, the TSA believes, the juniors on the circuit will broaden their sailing experience and be better prepared for a lifetime of sailing.
