PHRF San Diego Rating Reviews

    Procedure for Requesting a Rating Review

    Please note:  All Rating Review Requests must have been received at least 7 days prior to a scheduled Board Meeting.    Requests received within 7 days of a Board Meeting will be posted on the Handicap agenda for the following month's Board Meeting.

  1. The PHRF San Diego Handicapping Board has adopted the following procedure for requesting a review, including reviews requested by a club Handicapper or Board member, to assure that a minimum quantity of factual information is available at the time a rating review is discussed.  This will reduce the need to table discussions for lack of data.
    1. Complete the information requested on all pages of the Handicap Action and Review Worksheet.  
    2. Include any additional information, analysis, IMS Data etc. you wish to be included in the review.
    3. Give a copy of the complete package to your Club PHRF Handicapper or alternate so it can be reviewed independently by that Handicapper prior to the Board Meeting Review.
    4. Deliver or mail three complete packages to the Roster Secretary at PHRF San Diego Box 6748, San Diego 92166.  To be heard at the next Board meeting, it must be forwarded by the Roster Secretary and received by the Chief Handicapper at least 7 days before the meeting.  Otherwise it will be heard the following month.  The meeting is usually the second Monday of the Month @ 7:00 PM at Southwestern YC but please double-check.
    5.  If you wish to attend the handicapping meeting and present  your Review package, or to observe the Review, you are welcome. Boat owners will be allowed a maximum of 5 minutes to make a combined presentation on behalf of all owners.
    6. Yachts require two "Readings" or votes prior to any change.   After the second "Reading" has been voted on, Area Adjustment changes will take effect as soon as a new certificate is issued.  Rating reviews will become effective after PHRF Southern California makes a decision on the change and a new Certificate is issued.  In all cases, PHRF San Diego will issue new Rating Certificates.
    7. It is important that you read and be familiar with any applicable Class Rules, and that you have a copy of your most current PHRF Rating certificate, and the current Class Rules with you when you attend the Rating Review.

    Thank your for your attention to these details.

    Board Guidelines for Possible Rating Reviews

    Objective:  To create a system where boats are automatically brought up for Board discussion.

    Intent:  To eliminate the need for individuals to fill out a rating review form and suffer the personal consequences and grief in general.

    Events that would trigger a discussion for a possible Rating Review:

    1: Winning a Championship Regatta.

    2: Trophy in more than 65% of the races a boat races in. This would include all races a boat races in, including both PHRF Championship, general PHRF type races and Club races, with a minimum of 8 races needed.

    Mechanism:

    1. The Fleet Scorer together with the Fleet Handicapper will bring any boat that falls within the above criteria up for a rating discussion at the next meeting of the PHRF San Diego Board and...

    2. One Class would be looked at each month, and other classes on a revolving basis. This would become effective January 1, 1997 (Ex. A class boats would be looked at by the Scorer at the end of January and boats falling within the above criteria would be brought to the next Board meeting in Feb. This would continue for the B class, at the end of February the Scorer would look at the results and bring those B class boats to the March meeting. And so on...) and...

    3. At the Board meeting boats brought up for discussion will be voted on by secret ballot to see whether the boat shall be brought up for a formal rating review. If a majority vote yes, then the Fleet Handicapper will fill out the appropriate rating review paperwork.

    Adopted as Fleet Policy by board action December 1995.
