IKA Executive Committee decision regarding the Women's Final at PKRA Pingtan
To: PKRA Representative PKRA Head Judge PKRA Contest Director
In Copy: Gisela Pulido Karolina Winkowska PKRA Riders Committee
Following the recent incident during the PKRA event in Pingtan, the IKA Executive Committee has requested and received statements from the involved parties (Gisela Pulido and Karolina Winkowska) as well as from Head Judge, Contest Director and from the PKRA riders committee.
We have considered the facts presented during the IKA Executive Committee meeting held in Palma on November 3, 2014.
The Racing Rules of Sailing, which also apply to PKRA competitions, do not allow any races (or heats) to be held outside of the published competition dates. Therefore, if at the end of the competition an unbreakable tie remains (riders had lost one heat each in the double elimination), both riders shall be scored equal position. In this case, both riders shall be scored first.
We direct the PKRA to score both Gisela Pulido and Karolina Winkowska as first place in the Pingtan competition.
