LVC 2002/03 all 9 challengers and their ranking after RR2
For the Louis Vuitton Cup (LVC)2002/2003 the rule
has been changed. The goal was that strong team
must not sail for the win in countless races to
compete then as the winner -exhausted in men and
material - against a rested defender.
First, the teams sail against each other in 2 Round
Robins (RR) for points. From the quarter-finals
onwards 2 teams each sail in 7 races (best of
seven) in the k.o. System against each other
The 8 challengers in the quarter-finals were divided
into 2 groups, which were called for better
understanding "Blue A, Blue B" and " Blue C and
Blue D".
The 4 best teams (with the most points after the
2nd RR) came into the Blue Groups A, B, Should
they be defeated in a k.o. Round they have the
chance for a win in a Repêchage Round and to
continue the LVC.
The remaining 4 weaker teams came into the Blue
Group C, D.
Under certain conditions, the 4 strongest syndicates
can choose their opponents (also from Blue C, D) or
skip a regatta. A limited possibility has
the 5th strongest team as well.
A second Repêchage Round was also established
after the semifinals.
For the Louis Vuitton Cup (LVC)2002/2003 the rule
has been changed.
