Well I'm one of the coaches who voted and I always look at all Intersectionals, Stony Burke included, for men and women, as I'm certain most if not all other coaches do as well, it would be irresponsible not to. But some districts are just more powerful than others, and that's the bottom line. Unless all college teams sail against all other college sailing teams relatively regularly (which of course can't happen), it will always be a judgement call to a degree, and may never be truly accurate, though IMO it's pretty good. Either way it's still much better than it was with 3 coaches determining the rankings.

Each district over the years has had some standout teams and certainly standout sailors. It's a simple fact that some years the smaller districts simply are not going to be competing at the same level with the larger districts, particularly not with the same level of depth each weekend. These rankings are not a slight on the smaller districts. They are, IN FACT, the 20/15 top teams in the country based on the coaches and team reps that see the sailing each weekend as well as the results. Every team gets a chance to prove these rankings right or wrong at the end of the season with semis and finals.

and Neisa sailor,
I would not say MAISA and NEISA are in another league necessarily. They certainly are the two deepest and have the best teams coming out of them, but that hardly counts out some other very talented teams in other districts.
just my two cents...

neisa sailor 3 years ago

face it... neisa and maisa might as well be another league. I hate to say it and wish it weren't that way but it's true.

So far the Stoney Burke is only Intersectional that's taken place in the PCCSC. But the rest of the country doesn't think much about that district

Yeah the Stoney Burke is the first West Coast Intersectional

Based on an entire season of results and progress, rather than 1 intersectional maybe

I guess the Stoney Burke intersectional regatta didn't count for anything.

sailgroove...freaky fast freaky good

SailGroove is just that quick... and awesome

Where are you getting these? I don't see them on collegesailing.org or sailingworld.com... Did you call the coaches yourself?
