For years, especially before major events, it is discussed whether participants are eligible to participate who have previously participated in not sanctioned by World Sailing events.
Requirements by World Sailing RRS:
World Sailing Eligibility is required for all competitors who wish to enter Radio Sailing World Championships, and Competition Eligibility is required for any Radio Sailing event. Eligibility can be revoked if the competitor is guilty of gross misconduct (RRS 69.1), drug abuse (RRS 5), or participates in a Prohibited Event in the previous 2 years.
Reasons to become a prohibited event:
- The event is said to be a World Championship when it has not received approval.
- The event does not include an affiliated body in its organisation (RRS 89.1). Typically this is because an unaffiliated class organises an event without officially involving an affiliated club. IRSA’s interest here is in an event which sets out to attract competitors from a number of countries and is reasonably described as “International”.
- The event is not run under the RRS.
