2010 US Finn Association Rankings

Here are the 2010 US Finn Association Rankings. These rankings include the recent 2010 Miami Olympic Classes Regatta (Category 1), Midwinter's and Mardi Gras (both Category 2).

The Bylaws rank one category 1 and two category 2 events (category 3 events can be substituted for category 2 at 1/2 value). At the 2009 US Finn Association AGM, the Bylaws were amended to extend the qualifying period until May 31, 2010. Remaining category 1 events include all ISAF World Cup Regattas (including Miami OCR) and the Europeans. Category 2 events include Finn Midwinter's, Mardi Gras Regatta, ABYC OCR and the Pacific Coast Championships. Category 3 events include all other Finn regattas with 6+ competitors.
