Roy, IOM World Championships were held: 1994 - St. Cyr (FRA) 1997 - Wellington (NZL) 1999 - Ramla Bay (MLT) 2001 - Omisalj (CRO) 2003 - Vancouver (CAN) 2005 - Mooloalooba (AUS) 2007 - Marseille (FRA) 2009 - Brdigetown (BAR) 2011 - West Kriby (GBR) 2013 - Sdot Yam (ISR) 2015 - Foster City (USA) IOM E...

Hi John, Just for clarification. Any racing scoring system used on RC events races under RRS shall comply with the RRS and there is no need for IRSA approval. This was clearly said to us by IRSA chairman in answer to my mail back in April saying: „Because IOMICA is an independent ICA, it is free to ...

Hi John

Our proposal is to use SHRS on World and Europeans championship as these are IOMICA events administered by the IOMICA Class Championship Rules while we cannot and do not want to deal with any other racing system that may be used on national and lower level.

George, to answer your questions: 1. As scoring is the same for each heat you have overall results after each race in preliminary round. Therefore you can have results even with preliminary round only. Of course, it is always expected that you will do at least one race in for example two days of fin...

Hi Achile, You made great short summary. Just a note that number of race in qualifying and final round can be decided either by the number of racing days or exact number of races. In Croatia we have mostly 2 days events where we have by our national rule max. of 18 races in two days with no more tha...

Gordon, for a competitor who finish 17th after qualifying races, events not stops there. He continue in silver heat racing among boats of similar ability and on the end it may be more challenging to win silver fleet rather to trying to move up one or two places. I can tell this from my personal expi...

Olivier, please note that you can not compare any standings at the half of championship using HMS and SHRS as these are two different scoring systems and accumlating points for racing in B or C fleet by HMS will never happen in SHRS. The number of qualifying races scheduled by SHRS for first 3 days ...

CRO NCA just made Resolution for the upcoming AGM with proposal to replace current Heat Management System (HMS) with Simple Heat Racing System (SHRS). Complete text can be found here - http://www.scor.hr/regate/2014e/SHRS.pdf Justification: SHRS is giving following advantages: - Same number of heats...

Rijeka will for 16th year in a row host international Rijeka's RC regatta. Total of 97 competitors from Croatia, France, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Romania and Slovenia have participated in previous 15th editions of Rijeka's regatta. We hope that with three new entries this year we can r...

Peter please can you change Zvonko's Surname in the results. It should be Jelacic not Jelaciv

Final results on http://www.scor.hr/iom

You are right. The results I had from Marseille were incorrect. I really don't remember when I found it on the web, but certainly was not from the offical organizer's site. Please take my appologies.

Bruce, I saw that you took out two NZL entries in Stage 2 from my original document. It seems to me that they should be there. They have 3 places allocated in Stage 1, what is giving them 7 more places in Stage 2 allocated from the results from Marseille. They had 5 competitors in Marseille, so ther...

IOM Open Croatian National Championship will take place in Rijeka from 21-22 March 2009. You can find Notice of Race, online entry form and other details on http://www.scor.hr/iom

If you need any other information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Bruce, is it possible to have on the championship website complete document of Allocation of places for all stages that I sent you by e-mail?

I agree with Val, with few more points on the mid-event measurement from the Judge's point of view. According to the RRS 78.3 when an equipment inspector or a measurer decide that a boat does not comply with the class rules he shall report the matterin writing to the race committee. Race committee s...

We are missing one very important point on umpiring here. With 360 penalty umpire can impose as much as needed additional 360 penalties if: - boat gain an advantage despite the rule infringement - boat fails to do penalty turn on time or properly - competitor brake rule 2 On the end there is possibi...

Bruce, I really don't know where you found that CRO has no NCA when we were among the first IOMICA members, represented in World Council since 2003. We were organizing IOM Europeans last year, and IOM Worlds 2001 where first initial meeting to constitute IOMICA was held. Regarding the Allocation of ...

Lester, I completely agree with you but unfortunately the 360-720 system has been applied on several events and the number of penalties taken by the competitors did not increase. I am saying this from real experience and umpires' point of view looking the whole event. Brad, on the Marblehead Worlds ...

I am sorry for a longer post, but there are several topics raised in discussion that needs some more explanation. Yes, 360 – 720 system looks very well in theory, but what is happening in practice is that we are loosing too much time on one incident. Take for example simple port – starboard inci...

Graham, I would add to the top of your list two very imoprtant points already proposed here 1. Control area as a raised platform at least 2 meters above the water level 2. Racing system which does not have any pressure on promotion or relegation Third would be something that should be normally expet...

I am certainly supporting free discussion on this forum and I see this forum as a place where someone can put an idea, others may say whatever they think pro or against this idea and on the end we can came to some conclusion and maybe have some improvements of our sport. Discussion here started with...

I completely agree with Alfonso. Regarding other problems here it looks to me that some proposals are coming out without really knowing the situation of the IOMICA events. I was on 5 out of 7 events listed in my first post as well as several championships before that. I remember the time when only o...

I don't think that reducing the number of entries will reduce the organizing costs in the same percentage. I also agree that and event like European or World Championship needs 7 days and if you want to think about sponsorship then it is probably not easy to sell to the sponsor an event with limited...

Hi all, I made some analysis on the entry fee on IOM events in last 8 years and I think that numbers will tell you lot. USD EUR GBP 120 137 85 = WC 2001 Omišalj CRO 117 125 80 = EC 2002 Fleetwood GBR 247 212 152 = WC 2003 Vancouver CAN 251 200 141 = EC 2004 Arcos ESP 384 313 210 = WC 2005 Moolaloob...

Being a chief umpire on the IOM Europeans and having experience from the major championships in last 11 years as organizer, judge/umpire or competitors, I feel comfortable to give my opinion about umpiring that saw some criticism so far. I am always for any constructive critics and I don't think tha...

Sorry that I did not read IOMICA Forum in last few days, but I see that I was called several times in this discussion, so I would like to give some explanations. First of all, IOMICA can accept whatever racing system they want and RSD approval is not needed for them. Greg Willis clearly pointed that...

IOM Open Croatian Championship will take place in Dubrovnik from 16 - 19. 11. 2006. The event is open for 52 entries in 3 heats. If more than 52 boats are entered, the places will be allocated according to the order of entry receipt. Anyone interested in participation may contact for NoR, entry form...
