We have had a substantial amount of travel this summer and purposefully picked participation in those events to help reach our 15 race requirement. The published policy for defining the 15-race requirement indicates that every race on the schedule counts.

schedule for this season may be counted toward the 15 race requirement.
This includes all regular keelboat races for all classes plus, but not
limited to, the following:</span></div><span style="font-style: italic;">
</span><div><span style="font-style: italic;">1. WYC Regattas such as the Cool Cup, U-Gotta Regatta, J-22 Districts,</span></div><span style="font-style: italic;">
</span><div><span style="font-style: italic;">2. J-22 Fleet #1 Championship with both WYC and MYC Races committees,</span></div><span style="font-style: italic;">
</span><div><span style="font-style: italic;">3.

I will forward that email separately, and am requesting you have that score adjusted accordingly.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Thank you for your work at the club, and maintaining the
