This is something I used to do for Texas and thought it might be helpful for
everyone to look at their scores this way. I plan to do it for the semester
and looking at how consistent people are and whether or not they improve. It
also may help teams manage what and who they need to work on in practice.
Points are rounded to the nearest tenth. Hopefully I will get to do mean and
median finishes, but I'm going to have to work out how to do it as e-mail. I
do not have to time to cross reference it with RP data, but teams should
seriously consider doing that themselves.
Also of note, I did not get a chance to watch much of the racing. What is
below are inferences from the scores alone. I encourage you to read
everyone's not just your own.
Conditions: 5-6 building to 10-12 from the north west. flat to very light
chop. Very shifty 15 to 30 degrees at times. Partly cloudy with very good
light conditions for seeing the puffs. 70 degrees.

This proves consistency is key. The 4 and 6 hurt, but one busted race per
division in an otherwise excellent regatta is normal. In a tight Q that six
could cost the win, but not in this case.

A division was hit and miss. Basically one good and one bad race per set.
The two 4s in B are realistic the 5's and 6's in A need to be worked on.

Solid A performance. 5 ,6, and 7's in B really hurt when A is getting 1's
and 2's.

I hope my team forgives me for being hard on them.
First of all, killer finish for A division, whatever came together write it
down and do it again! That being said.....
The widest score spread in the top 5. An OCS and a 13! What happened? The 5,
6, and 8 are also way out of character. without the OCS alone the B average
falls to a 2.8!!! This to me shows someone who is taking way to many risks
and is leveraging themselves to much. Winning in sailing is making fewer
mistakes and being cleaner and faster than the other teams, not getting
lucky (though that is big factor sometimes, but rarely more than once in a
regatta). Also B's bad final set offset any gains or potential made by your
A.... Its a confidence builder for A to do that well but its worth next to
nothing if you go out and pull a 8, 4.

A big point spread between A & B but nothing hugely out of the ordinary. The
6 & 7 in a could be improved on but again one or two on the high end is
pretty typical. you had a 2 and 3 to make up for them. OU got 5th by the
skin on their teeth. A&M was 1 point behind and would have one the tie
break.

It was over when it began, two 11's and a 7 in the first A and B sets..... A
got more consistent and B nearly pulled it out for them in the last 2 races
but it just didn't make up for the performance in the light conditions.
Knowing Nathan and Josh, maybe it would have been better to sail the lighter
Nathan in A in the morning and put Joshe's age and experience in B, but that
is highly speculative (it would change everything else). maybe just think
about the conditions more and who you have on your roster.

Many of the races could have made up the 4 points to 6th or 5 points to
5th! There are 3 finishes in A of 10 or higher. Otherwise a good showing
from a new SEISA regular member.

Kansas A 8 8 7 8 11 7 10 7 66

I don't think KU had its normal A & B in. 6 finishes of 10 or more is where
the 28 point gap comes from. Again in B a good and bad race in each set....
and A did that in the last 2.
9

B shows some promise, mixing it up with the middle a few times. the 11 is
first race jitters. A is pretty consistent with no real trend.

The 4 9's in a and one 14 is B on the last race kept them out of 9th.

A solid last set in A and consistent in B

TAMUG 2 sailed no A and took all DNS's. A consistent performance in B.

point difference from next highest finish: 1!!!!!
It looks like Auburn A doesn't like or has not sailed FJ's in any kind of
wind. The second it picked up to 10+ the scores dropped. B was consistent,
the 8 and 9 (good or lucky?) auburn try and think about those races and what
you did. They were on the right track.
14
UNT A 13 12 11 10 12 13 11 13 95
B 14 14 8 14 12 14 9 13 98

B division: 14th average score: 12.3
point difference between A and B: 3
team average: 12
point difference from next highest finish: 5
Another close one. B shows some promise with an 8 and 9, but the 4 14's.....
A is pretty consistent
