Yes, you must be a current USSailing member to be eligible but we've never turned anyone away that wanted to sail and didn't want to be a member of USSailing. The Area D South results turned in to the AC committee only reflect the 11 eligible teams.

All the results turned in are reviewed for membership status at the time of the elimination. This does have a fairly dramatic impact on lot of the data that is turned in.

The area reps are given a fair amount of latitude in how they hold their eliminations. Some eliminations are stand alone events and some are in conjunction with preexisting events. As long as the minimum criteria is met the event is good to go.

Mike, I'm curious about your interest in the AC elims. You were kind of down on the AC a while back, are you softening your position?
