<DIV><STRONG>1st (?) Annual TI Random Pairs Team Race</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>September 8, 2007</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV>Treasure Island Sailing Center</DIV>
<DIV>B.Y.O. V15</DIV>
<DIV>Report Time: 11:00 am </DIV>
<DIV>First Race: 12:00 am (sharp) </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It was recently suggested that having a random pairs team race at TI
would be a great way to get a lot of people team racing in a unique and
low-key format (thanks for the great idea Archie). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For those of you who are unfamiliar with the format, random pairs team
racing is 2 vs. 2 team racing in which each boat is paired with a different
teammate and opponent for each race. After a number of rotations, boats
will be ranked according to winning percentage and top placers will advance to
a short Championship Round to determine a victor. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This is a great opportunity for experienced team racers looking to
get some boat-handling and boat-on-boat practice, as well as
for people who don't have a steady 3-boat team or are somewhat new to team
racing altogether. This will be a fun, casual day of racing on the cove with
BBQ and beverages to follow. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It is anticipated that a very modest entry fee will be required to offset
costs of food/beverage, etc (more details to follow). </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It would be great to get a good turnout for what should be a very fun day
of sailing. Please signup on the V15 website if you will be
participating: <A onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"
