 Match Race Pairings

Racing begins September 29

Two Flights of racing are expected each day. Two race courses will be used, Romeo and Juliet.  Courses are 4-leg standard windward-leeward with an optional gate.  Total length of the course will be adjusted by the Race Committee to suit the conditions, ranging between 8 and 12.5 nautical miles start to finish.

First warning signal is scheduled for 12:30 pm each day on Course Romeo and 12:35 on Course Juliet.  Races will not start after 5:30 pm unless by special agreement.

How are the pairings determined, what do they mean, and how does this work out fairly for all of the teams?  The BMW Oracle Racing Blog answers some of the basics.
