Rules Governing the Road Warrior Prize

1) This annual prize has been proposed to help generate participation at different regattas throughout the District.  It will serve as a means to encourage Dixie District sailors to travel to the "non major regattas."

2) Only members of the Dixie District who are in good standing with both the Dixie District and the ILCA as of the date of the District Championships will be eligible to qualify for the prize.

3) The right title and interest in this prize shall be in the name of the Executive Committee who may impose conditions necessary to safeguard its use.   The Prize shall be awarded yearly at the Annual Meeting.

4) The scoring for the Prize will be as follows.

a. A skipper will receive one (1) point  for each of the regattas included in
     the District Series schedule that he attends, regardless of position.

b. If for any reason a regatta (included in the District Series  schedule), is abandoned or cancelled, any skippers that were  officially registered for that regatta will receive the initial one (1) point.

c.  When the above computations are complete the skipper with the greatest number of points will be the winner.  If a tie exists then the tying skippers will share the Trophy.
