The lack of wind in
Act 8 was developed later with the tie of the four first positions that broke when applying the Regulation of Regatas to candle, being based on the number of direct victories and on the result of its direct encounter. Match RACE between BMW Oracle and Rossa Moon maintained the spectators in rise, even exit, constant changes of position, the race was not decided until the last stern with a war of trasluchadas where they ended up prevailing the Italians. After 31 regatas won, the Alinghi loses for the first time before the K-Challenge
Act 9 has been one of most interesting until now. Spanish Desafío has been dominating all the route, but in the last meters BMW Oracle approached to him dangerously. A hard Sprint on the part of the Americans that has not been compensated since in the last moment they saw as the Alinghi surpassed the boats that distanced to them reason why needed to gain the Spanish to be able to both obtain margin points that adjudged the victory to him in this Act. In the end Spanish Desafío gains the last sleeve and therefore the Alinghi becomes the winner of this 9º Act.
YEAR 2006
Beam “click” to see details “Day here Day”
The 23 of June of 2,007 the exit of Desafío of the Glass will occur. During this edition one will use excessive respect to the time of duration of the Louis Vuitton Glass and Desafío of the Glass, instead of the five habitual months in other editions will happen to concentrate the tests in three months. The final Act will be one regata of fleet in which all the participants will take part from 32ª edition of the America Glass. After it Desafiantes or Challengers will fight in the Louis Vuitton Glass that will determine who will face the equipment of Alinghi in Desafío of the Glass In the Valencia Louis Vuitton Act 13 it will be necessary to consider three main keys: how the results condition the final classification of Louis Vuitton Ranking, the presence of Alinghi in the line of exit for the last time until the beginning of the America's Cup Match (next the 23 of June) and the yield of the new boats, that compete for the first time together.
Throughout all the Louis Vuitton Acts that has been disputed from 2005, the 11 challenges have been obtaining a series of points that have served to conform Louis Vuitton Ranking. This classification determines with how many advantage points Louis Vuitton Cup begins each of those equipment. The first one classified will have four points of advantage; of the second to the quarter, three points; of the fifth a seventh, two points; and the four last challenges, a point. During Louis Vuitton Cup, each victory will add two points, reason why it is possible to be said that the one that finalizes Act 13 in head of the classification will begin Louis Vuitton Cup with the equivalent to two victories.
The ties in Louis Vuitton Ranking are not broken. In case two equipment finalizes the Valencia Louis Vuitton Act 13 tied, they will share the same number of points. A good example is present the seventh position of the Ranking, occupied by +39 Challenge and Areva Challenge. to finalize in this situation, both would begin Louis Vuitton Cup with two points.
In highest of the table, Emirates Team New Zealand, BMW ORACLE Racing and Rossa Moon are concentrates in only 7 points (125 for the New Zealand ones by 123 of North Americans and 118 of the Italians). The three will carry out a bloody fight by the leadership of Louis Vuitton Ranking, since the one that occupies that coveted first position at the end of Act 13, will begin Louis Vuitton Cup with four points, by three of their direct rivals.
Great the another great battle will take place just behind, to find out what equipment manages to be quarter and thus to add itself to the group of the three points. Both great aspirings, at the present time, are Spanish Challenge 2007 and Latin Mascalzone - Capitalia Team, separated by only 12 points. But other four equipment can mathematically enter that fight, and no will leave tomorrow to the stroll water indeed.
The Valencia Louis Vuitton Act 13 has ended the previous series of regatas initiate in 2004. Because until Act 4 the list of challengers was not completed, Louis Vuitton Ranking started up in 2005. Since then, 5 regatas in format Match RACE and other 5 in fleet format have put on approval the evolution of the 11 challenges. Until this Act 13, Defender Alinghi has participated like an equipment more, now, Swiss retire to prepare the America's Cup Match and leave to the rest fighting itself by Louis Vuitton Cup.
Louis Vuitton Ranking has two objectives: First of all, it serves in the beginning to define the allocation of a series of points of advantage to the challenges of Louis Vuitton Cup; in second, it is the base for the elaboration of the list of emparejamientos of both Round Robin that they will define what four equipment passes to the semifinals of Louis Vuitton Cup and the seven that will fall eliminated.
The leader of Louis Vuitton Ranking is Emirates Team New Zealand, that will begin Louis Vuitton Cup with four points (the equivalent to two victories in the Round Robin).
In second position it is Moon Rossa Challenge that, next to third classified, BMW ORACLE Racing, and the quarter, Spanish Desafío 2007, receives three points of advantage.
Latin Mascalzone - Capitalia Team, Victory Challenge, +39 Challenge and Team Shosholoza, obtain two points. And finally, Areva Challenge, United Internet Team Germany and China Team, will begin Louis Vuitton Cup with a point.
Louis Vuitton Ranking also is going away to use like tool to establish tiebrakes after the Round Robin 2 of Louis Vuitton Cup, except in case that tiebrake implies the elimination of an equipment. That is to say, if two equipment is tied to points in the fourth position of Louis Vuitton Cup, Louis Vuitton will not be used Ranking to decide what equipment happens and what equipment falls eliminated, but both will have to sail in a small three series to the best one of regatas. First that gains two, it will happen to semifinals.
The devised system of score to define the positions of the challenges in Louis Vuitton Ranking is increasing. In 2005, the victory in each Act counted so many points as participant challenges (11), decreasing until the score minimum, corresponding to the last one classified: 1 point. In 2006, the calculation was equal, but each Act scored double. This Valencia Louis Vuitton Act 13 is the one of greater specific importance: it counts the triple that an Act of 2005, reason why the winner added 33 points to his square.
