Dear MCSA Sailor, Here are a few notes as we push into the middle of our 2012 Fall college sailing season! Please take the time to read all of this message.
*Tech Score:* There are some new features on Tech Score that allow us to know each sailors current eligibility status. Each team leader needs to visit the CollegeSailing.org <http://classic.collegesailing.org/directory/individual/>website and view their team roster. Please make sure that any and all sailors that plan on participating in events this semester have indicated eligibility and have been approved by your team administrator. If there are any duplicate sailors on your roster please contact Danielle Richards at [email protected] so we can remove them and merge their records. If your team is hosting an event and has not yet signed up for a Tech Score Account please do this NOW at https://ts2.collegesailing.org/score/609/rp *Sailing with ineligible sailor:* If your team has a participant at any event that has not indicated their eligibility at the time of the event they are subject to PR 15c; Use of Ineligible Student-Athlete - A college using an ineligible studentathlete, as defined by PR 12, in competition, or a college which allows a 2009-2012 ICSA Procedural Rules 7 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.
