A key element is that the sailors were responsible for sending to the ILCA-NA office, before the December 1 deadline, some sort of documentation to indicate which group they belonged to. Unfortunately, a few sailors didn't send the information and ended up in the third category when they might rightly have been in one of the first two groups.
Ok the answer here is I have a fundamental hatred for teh imperosnl treatm ent mentality. I have hundreds of customers and I am embarassed if I don't know their names, their kids names and their crews names. I know what boat they ahve now, when tehy started ailing, if tehy rce or csuise , why, and how well they do it.
That's a good point. I was surprised on the application form there was no space to list the events you had attended that qualified you to register. I missed the whole part about submitting a separate document listing your events, (this is what Fred pointed out). I had a 50% finish in the 2007 Masters NA's and a top 25% finish at the 2008 MMWE, but I did not list these items anywhere so I guess I, (unknowingly) fell into the "unqualified" entry list.
