2025 JSA champs qualified skippers:

The JSA championship qualifiers position report is used to calculate the qualified skipper finish positions for all classes. View the current  position report that includes events through August 1, 2025. To verify if a sailor has qualified in a specific event, print the event results from Clubspot and draw a line below the finish position specified in the “Final Qualifying Position after Adjustment” column of the qualifiers position report. If your sailor appears above that line, they may have qualified, subject to later scoring reviews/corrections.

Two lists of the skipper names who have qualified per the above procedure may be viewed at these links (a large screen gives the best view). Skipper names that are not shaded in grey color are those who are qualified for a 2025 JSA boat class champs, and skipper names shaded in grey color do not qualify (subject to correction / revision):
—  Club 420, ILCA and Feva skippers sorted by event date (through July 31)
—  Optimist skippers sorted by event date (through August 1)

All 2025 JSA champs qualifying events on the JSA calendar have been completed as of August 1. If a skipper’s name appears on the list of the skipper’s who have qualified for their boat class championship, they may be entered in that event. If not listed, they are not eligible for entry. See below for  other methods to enter a JSA champs:

  • For the Optimist, all qualifier regattas for its JSA championship on August 7-8 at American YC have been completed
  • For the Club 420 and ILCA, all qualifier regattas for its JSA championship on August 5-6 at Riverside YC have been completed

How do I qualify for JSA Championships?

The Rules for JSA Events lists the qualifying events for the JSA championships and the scoring method that determines the qualifying percentage of top finishers at each event. The details may be read in this extract from the JSA Rules.

Other Methods to Enter Champs: in addition to the top percentage finishers described above, JSA Rule 4 summarized below provides other methods to enter a championship. If you wish to enter skippers at champs using one of these alternate methods, your sailing program director must email the JSA office info@jsalis.org with supporting details:

* Girls’ Champs is typically a scoring division within the JSA ILCA 4 and 6 class and the Club 420 class Champs that is open to junior women who meet the qualifying percentage of top finishers requirement described above. Also eligible will be any junior woman who meets JSA eligibility, but not the championship regatta requirements, and has been specially recommended by the head of her JSA member program via email to the JSA office (info@jsalis.org).

*  When no races are completed at a scheduled qualifying regatta, a skipper shall qualify for a JSA Championship Event provided he or she meets all of the following conditions: a) The competitor properly registered and was eligible to qualify at the regatta for their class of boat; and b) The competitor was present at the regatta site or in the race area on the day of the event and was prepared to compete; and c) The competitor qualified as skipper for the previous year’s JSA Championship Event for the same class of boat.  (JSA Rule 4.1.5)

* If no representative from your junior program qualifies for the JSA championship in a specific boat class, your program may enter one representative for that class who must have participated in at least one qualifying event for that boat class championship (e.g., your program has Optimist red and blue fleet skippers qualified for champs, but no white fleet skippers qualified. In that case, your program may additionally enter one white fleet skipper in Opti champs who has participated in a qualifying event, regardless of finish position. Similarly, your program may use this method for other boat classes to assure representation in each of the JSA boat class championships, including ILCA 6 and Club 420 champs. (JSA Rule 4.1.6)

If you have questions about the JSA championship qualification process, please as your program director to email the JSA office info@jsalis.org
