Competitors' meeting1994 In conjunction with the World Championship events (Helsingfors Segelklubb, Helsinki, Finland).
The Olympicformat Theundersigned explained theresultsof the meeting0f the CPOCWorkingParty0n the "FutureOlympicRegatta", heldon 4 August, 1994,the keypointsbeingas follows: Fleet racingon fivedays,with two racesper day and a grandfinal;durationof eachrace:1 hour;Olympictrapezoidcourse;complete pre-racemeasurement; low point,system; maximumnumberof boats:35 for men,22 for women.Withthe exceptionof the grand final which was opposedby a narrow maiority,participantsexpressed their great satisfactionoverthe resultsof the Workine Partymeeting.
A large maiority of competitors attendingthe Helsinkimeetingopposedthe ideaof a GrandFinalduringthoseregattas, although all other regatta competitors shouldalsosailtheirlast raceon [he same day.The prevailingopinionwas that the GrandFinalwouldnot be helpfulin anyway whatever, with regardto the mediawhich maypayno attentionto sailracinganway. The use of a doublebottom mark shouldbe takenintoconsideration.

As an alternative, it was suggested that in future,andon a trial basis,onehalfof the boatsenteredfor a regattacouldbe measured,with lots drawn to determine whichboatswouldundergomeasurement.

Underthenewsystem, eachcompetitor countshisor herbest six resultsover[he previoustwo years.Thetwo year periodis calculated on a rollingbasis(fromtoday'sdateto lhe samedate two yearspreviously). Taking into accouni continentaldistribution,regattas meetingthebasiccriteriahavebeenawardeda gradeby theIIRU RankingList WorkingParty.Grade1 regattasincludethe Olympic Regatta,IYRUWorld Championship and the respectiveClass World Championships. Grade 2 eventsare the top Olympic Classesevents,includingcontinental championships. Grade3 eventsare smallerregionalregattas.Grade4 eventsincludesmall internalionaland nationalevents.A full set of guidelineson the gradingof regattasis available fromtheIyRU. Pointsfor eachgradeof eventaremultipliedbya factorto reflectthe importanceof the event.Thismultiplieris called"F'. The grade 0f the regatta also determineslhe percentageof competitorswho receiverankingpoints.For Grade1 regattasthe top 800/o of competitors areawardedpoints;Grade2, 600/o; Grade 3, 400/o andGrade4.20o/o. In additionto its grading,each€venlis ascribeda Quality factor,"Q".This is calculatedaccordingto the numberof top competitors attendingthe regatta.It canonlybe calculated when th€ resultshavebeenreceived. by th€ formula Q is determined Q:1 + n/30, rvheren is the number0f competitors eligibleto receiverankingpointsat the regatta(i.e.dependanlon the gradingof theevent)whofeaturein thetOp30 of the mOs[recenl rankinglist prior to the event.Thelimitsof Q are setlretween1.0 and1.5.Grade1 evenlsare alwaysassumed[o havea quality factorof 1.5.
