Oooo...we got our work cut out for us...that's great attendance. It has always been the case that each qualifier sends it's top team to the event...or the next top team out of the top three that can attend. Last year, the conditions of the championship were modified to allow the largest qualifier to send their top two teams instead of one. So, if you guys do end up with the largest attendance, you get two spots instead of one.

I hate to be the hard-butt, but I feel like I should point this out because it has been a problem in the past; note that EVERYONE competing (skipper AND crew) must be US sailing members to race in the elimination / qualifier. The entry forms are checked and if folks are found that had inactive memberships at the time, they come out of the attendance figure and are obviously illegible to compete in the US Championship.

If anyone from the event wants to have a US Sailing website address to check anyone's membership standing as of the moment, send me a PM and I'll forward that to you. With a wireless connection, you can check memberships during registration.
