It can't be a worlds without an IRO.
Hey Matt,
I'm sending you an email about this, hopefully you can clarify something for me.
Mike
PS: Apologies if this is a hijack. We're being trained to "always check the book." You had to be there to understand...
To continue the hijack (and to show how much freaking material we're covering to get our RRO and Judge certifications)
ISAF Regulations
18.12.12 ISAF shall have the right to approve and/or appoint the Race Officer(s) and/or Course
Representatives when deemed necessary for the following events otherwise not covered
by the Regulations above:
ISAF World Sailing Rankings graded Events;
World Championships of non-Olympic ISAF Classes, when agreed with the ISAF
Mike is correct. An IRO is not required. "Reserving the right to appoint" is not the same as "required."
However, an International Jury
is required at a Worlds. PU is the Canadian on that Jury, and since he is an IRO, too - he will act as a course consultant.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled A-cat lovefest . . .
