NESSA News

The O'Day qualifiers are next Sunday (4/28) in five locations around the district. Here is what you need to know.

1. Regatta website:

   1. Your site assignment is listed on the second tab of the "entries" post.

   2. Schools listed in Green have met the requirements to compete.  School still listed in white have not.  Most likely, those in white have not crossed the "three meet/regatta" threshold yet.  If you represent one of those schools, please reach out to your League Representative for guidance.

   3. Three sites have activated their Tech Score pages. Two others are expected to be active in the next 24 hours,  That site will be your first choice for questions regarding next Sunday.  Please check for any special site specific information (parking, food, etc.) that may be posted for your site.

2. Database and Tech Score. 

   1. All of your sailors should be entered in the NESSA Database prior to the weekend, so that it has time to "shake hands" with the Tech Score Database.  

   2. Your Tech Score account should already be active.  Questions concerning Tech Score are handled through the ISSA office located in California.  The office is not open on weekends, so if you wait until Saturday to troubleshoot, you will be out of luck.

   3. There are penalties for improper or missing Race Participation (RP) information that are outlined in the ISSA Procedural Rules.

3. Withdrawal: 

   1. The deadline to withdraw from this regatta without penalty is 0930 on Friday April 26th. 

   2. Penalties for late withdrawal are listed in the NESSA District Rules (Article L). 

   3. Schools are probation should pay careful heed to their obligations.  The up-to-date NESSA Probation List can be found here.
