Hello PCCSC, below is a check list for items all teams must do or should do. Please use this email as a reference for this season.
*MANDATORY ITEMS* 1. Register all sailors in ICSA database: Go to https://ts.collegesailing.org/sailor-registration and have all of your sailors register. This is a new registration system for ICSA and must be done by all sailors on your team! (Do this well in advance of each sailor's first regatta so they show up in techscore ahead of the event). 2. Make sure you have pinnies that meet the specs outlined in the ICSA Procedural Rules: http://collegesailing.org/documents/ICSA_Documentation/2017-2020-Procedural-Rules-2017-05-23.pdf *Team Uniforms - All student-athletes competing in ICSA regattas shall wear a uniform designating their college. The uniform shall be a lightweight jersey, bib, or pinnie worn over the lifejacket, or like-colored lifejackets. To designate the college, any combination of the college’s name, nickname, mascot, or other identifying image shall be present on the back of the uniform and, except for an individual’s name or number, shall be the same for all team members competing. ICSA recommends that the image used to designate the college be at least 8” X 8” in size. f) A college whose student-athletes fail to wear PFD’s or uniforms for each race shall be subject to the appropriate penalty per PR 33(a) or (b). In conference regattas, as described in PR 9, the Regatta Chairman may waive any penalty under this rule. * 3. Make sure you are using conference legal sails and the correct sail #'s: http://pccsc.collegesailing.org/documents/pccsc_standing_rules_sail_numbers.pdf. Please note that numbers should be on the tack of the jibs as well. 4. Designate a team admin person to register for a TechScore account to do RP (Record of Participation) info in techscore https://ts.collegesailing.org. RP info must be updated and done by 8am the morning following an event or penalties will be administered. 5. Sign up for the regattas you plan on attending and keep your team contacts up to date here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1byMrbJbEVDiq5I-RieaQM7x2wekgwMJNTkvTtiRZ23A/edit#gid=920047653. Remember to remove your team from any events you will not attend well in advance of the event, *ESPECIALLY EVENT WHERE BOATS ARE PROVIDED AND/OR CHAMPIONSHIPS. *Teams failing to remove their team from the signup list at least five days in advance of a championship or event where boats are provided may be subject to sanctions by the PCCSC executive committee. * *Non-Mandatory Items* 6. Encourage your team members to sign up for the PCCSC List Serve here: http://pccsc.collegesailing.org/about/mailing-list 7. Read the ICSA Procedural Rules: http://collegesailing.org/documents/ICSA_Documentation/2017-2020-Procedural-Rules-2017-05-23.pdf 8. Read the conference Standing Rules: http://pccsc.collegesailing.org/pccsc-documents/standing-rules-policies 9. Read the conference By-Laws: http://pccsc.collegesailing.org/pccsc-documents/bylaws 10. Make sure you are up to date with your own university on all of their requirements to stay a team. This is a checklist you need to create on your own! If all team members do everything above, our conference will improve drastically. There seems like there's a lot of rules, but this is basically it and if you take care of them all up front, you will be able to focus on getting better as a team on the water. I suggest you have at least the team captain for each team read items 7, 8, and 9 and go over the important rules with your team at meetings for five minutes each week. I look forward to working with you all this fall! Brad Schaupeter *UCSB Sailing Coach* * *(Interim PCCSC Conference Commissioner) Phone - (310) 850-5213 Email - [email protected]
