Information for sailors about the Application for Entry system
Description of the new system for allocated entry:
ILCA has introduced a new entry system for all ILCA allocated championships to make the allocation of places and extra places more efficient.
Sailors no longer need to contact their District Laser class association. If you are interested in attending an ILCA allocated championship you must first apply for a place through the ILCA web site.
This is easy: simply select the championship's link from the ILCA homepage and then select 'Application Form' from the menu displayed on the left. To complete an application you will need an ISAF number which can be searched for or a new number registered on the ISAF web site
You should also consider before making your application if you would require a charter boat for the championship. Once you have all of the information go to the application form, fill in all the details and submit the form. Your name will then appear on the 'Application List'.
Once the 'Application for Entry' period has passed, your national association will rank the sailors from your District according to the District qualification and/or ranking system.
You will then receive an email from ILCA. There are three possible scenarios:
(Please ensure you enter the correct email address in your application, all communication will be made to this email address.)
- You will receive an offer of a place, you can select if you wish to take the place or not. You will have three weeks to complete your entry, after three weeks the offer of a place will be automatically cancelled and the place offered to an alternative sailor.
- If more sailors have applied than there are places available, you may receive an email explaining that you have been placed on a waiting list. If a place becomes available you will be sent an email explaining how to enter and giving you three weeks to complete entry. Again if entry is not made within the three weeks the offer will be cancelled and the place offered to another sailor.
- Your application could be declined by your District.
