PURPOSE
To encourage travel and high caliber competition for youth racing in
Southern California at the major bays for Lasers
SPONSOR AND RULES
1. SCYYRA is the sponsor of the series.
2. Individual clubs will host each regatta. Sailing instructions, protest
decisions, and official results of each host club shall be used as a basis
to score.
3. ILCA and US Sailing rules shall apply to all races unless otherwise
noted in particular race instructions.
4. To enter the series, a participant must fill out the Ullman Series
entry form and mail it to the Ullman Series chairman of SCYYRA. A
participant may enter the series at the first or second scheduled regatta,
but no later than the start of the first race of the second regatta.
5. An entry fee for the Ullman may be required (this is separate from each
regatta entry fee).
6. Only those regattas where an individual raced in Laser “A” Fleet will
count towards the series.
THE SERIES
The series will consist of up to four (4) scheduled regattas when possible
during the school year (Sept.-June).
TROPHIES
1. The Ullman perpetual trophy is composed of two medals won by
Dave Ullman, floating in Lucite with a walnut top and large tiered walnut
base. The medals were won at the 1978 Baltic Pre Olympic Regatta in Talin,
Russia.
2. The Ullman perpetual trophy shall be awarded at the end of the last
event of the series to the junior who has the lowest cumulative point
score for the scheduled regattas using the scoring system explained below.
3. Take home trophies shall be awarded to the top number of finishers in
the series.
4. The perpetual trophy shall be kept for that year in the Yacht Club of
the winning skipper. If the club does not have adequate facilities to
retain the trophy, it shall then reside at a place determined by the
SCYYRA Board of Directors.
SCORING
1. Ullman series scoring shall be based in the official results of each
regatta tabulated only against other Ullman Series entrants. The US
Sailing Scoring System, Appendix A of the Racing Rules, using the lowpoint
points schedule, will apply.
2. Each yacht finishing a race and not thereafter retiring or being
disqualified shall score points equal to her finishing position. Lowest
score wins.
3. DNF and yachts which retire before finishing will score the number of
unpenalized finishers, plus 1.
4. DNS and DSQ will score number of yachts registered, plus one, for the
regatta.
5. DNC (did not compete in a particular regatta) shall be equal to the
total number of entries in Ullman series.
6. Throwout races will be incorporated into the series scoring with the
following formulas:
-
If 14-15 races are completed, there will
be 1 throwout
-
If 16-17 races are completed, there will
be 2 throwouts
-
If 18-19 races are completed, there will
be 3 throwouts
-
If more than 20 races are sailed, there
