Hello PCCSC, as many of you know, Danielle Richards has had a very difficult summer with many major medical procedures. For the foreseeable future, she will be in recovery and she will not be able to help with conference roles.
In the interim, three people will be handling the conference duties as follows: John Vandemoer - [email protected] / (650) 723-2811 Brad Schaupeter - [email protected] / (310) 850-5213 Kylie Sullivan - [email protected] / (858) 877-0218 - John Vandemoer will be handling scheduling and requests to host regattas should be sent to him ([email protected]). He will be attempting to set up conference calls to organize the schedule well in advance and accurately. - John Vandemoer will serve as a consultant to new teams trying to start. - Brad Schaupeter will be handling entering scoring penalties in for regattas (such as RP forms not being filled out correctly, pinnies / uniform penalties, and incorrect sail penalties). Reporting of infractions will be done by several parties within the conference. See below checklist to make sure you do not incur penalties this fall. - Brad Schaupeter will be organizing the fall conference meeting at Fall PCC and possibly at Women's Fall PCC's. - Brad Schaupeter will be responsible for checking NOR, SI's and following up with regatta hosts to turn in these documents well in advance of the events. - Kylie Sullivan will be serving as ICSA/PCCSC rep at several regattas. She will also be working as an advocate for growth within the conference, in specific focusing on the teams that do not have full time coaches. Finally, she will be updating pccsc.collegesailing.org so that all event documents are correct and information is up to date and pertinent. I'd like to take a moment to introduce Kylie Sullivan. Many of you may know her from when she was our PCCSC student president or from being captain of the UCLA team. She has represented our conference at the Inter Collegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) meetings and organized our conference meetings. *I truly encourage those teams who do not have a full time coach to use her as a resource to help problem solve the issues you face on your team. She is an advocate for this conference and for the 'smaller' teams and successfully grew the UCLA team to be a very strong member of our conference. Please reach out to her!* As a final reminder, below are items that must be taken care of before the first event you sail. Please make sure it's all done and we'll have an awesome year. Go PCCSC! Brad Schaupeter *UCSB Sailing Coach* Phone - (310) 850-5213 Email - [email protected] Website - http://UCSBsailing.com Facebook - http://facebook.com/UCSBsailing ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: UCSB Sailing Coach <[email protected]> Date: Fri, Sep 15, 2017 at 9:00 AM Subject: PCCSC Conference Check List - do all of these ASAP! To: [email protected] 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.o rg/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/doc uments/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_ru les_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/sprea dsheets/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/doc uments/ICSA_Documentation/2017-2020-Procedural-Rules-2017-05-23.pdf 8. Read the conference Standing Rules: http://pccsc.collegesai ling.org/pccsc-documents/standing-rules-policies 9. Read the conference By-Laws: http://pccsc.colleges ailing.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]
