Here's the excerpt from the NOR (I just sent it out on the TI Laser
list (ti_lasers@googlegroups.com) hopefully everyone is on this
list)).
2.2 Required entry fees shall be paid to the Race Chairs or Vanguard
15 Treasurer and made out to TISC.
(a) Entry fees for the season are $135 due at the start of the
season.
(b) Entry fee for a single evening will be $15 due before the event.
(c) Non-tenants must pay an additional $5 launch fee due before the
event.
2.3 Boats that race five (5) or more nights shall be assigned Social
Chair duties by the Race Chairs.
2.4 US Sailing members may deduct $5.00 from their series entry fee.
USSA members must present a copy of their membership with their
entry.
To me 2.2(c) is unclear whether it applies just to the nightly fee or
if it applies to the season fee too is it one-time (ie the season fee
is actually $140 if you trailer in) or is it $250 (ie you pay $5 X 23
nights + $135 entry)?

:: Can someone tell those of us who weren't racing this

:: how much for the launch fee?

:: :: I'm planning to boycott the racing because I think this
:: :: will hurt the fleet - last year when they brought this
:: :: up in the middle of the season it scared away any new
:: :: Lasers. Among those of us at the Midwinters there seemed
:: :: to be some support for boycotting the first few nights
:: :: at least until TISC realizes this is a bad idea and
:: :: reverses course.
::
:: :: I look forward to the Thursday Night racing with you
:: :: guys all year round so I would hate to see that go away,
:: :: but I think that if we accept this launch fee the fleet
:: :: will slowly wither away from lack of new blood. While
:: :: TISC has been the best option for us up to now, it's not
:: :: our only option & I think we'll be able to find good
:: :: alternatives if we have to.
::
:: :: So if you agree that this launch fee is a bad idea for
:: :: the fleet then I encourage you join the boycott of the
:: :: first night racing. One way or the other I hope to be
:: :: out racing with you guys again real soon.
