Posted 18 March 2009 Notice to all District RM skippers. The RM Inter-club on Saturday 10th October 2009 will now be held at the Woodley club lake at Southlake Woodley and not at the Reading Sailing Club as scheduled.

Met & Southern IOM Championship.
For 2009 the Met & Southern 1 Metre Championship will consist of FOUR rounds held at different venues within the District. The District Champion will be the skipper with the best total for any three races when all four rounds have been completed.  If an event is cancelled then that event becomes null and void and the champion will be the skipper with the best total for any two races from the Three completed events.
If a competing skipper acts as the Race Officer for an event he will be awarded "average" points for that event.

Calculation of race points for IOM District Championship competitors and Race Officers.
The calculation will be a modified version of the formula used for National Ranking events.  This version awards the skipper in last place a positive score rather than zero as in the MYA National Ranking formula.

Competitors' points will be calculated using the formula below where S is the number of yachts that start in at least one heat in the event and F is the competitor's finishing position.   Points will be rounded to the nearest whole number.

The Race Officer's points will be calculated by finding the average of that person's points after completion of at least 2 counting events.  Points will be rounded to the nearest whole number. Points awarded to Race Officers will be recalculated after each event.

How to enter for each round of the competition.
Entering each round of the 1 Metre Championship will follow the standard procedure.  Skippers should contact the secretary or racing officer of the host club and give details of sail number, MYA membership number, club, contact telephone number and range of frequencies.  If possible entries should be made well in advance of the date of the event and not later than the preceding Wednesday. 

Dates and venues for the four rounds of the 1 Metre District Championship 2009

Your support is needed to make the IOM Metre Championship a success.

A record of the results for each round will be kept on this web site. It will be regularly updated .
