This  page is intended to provide the active members of PHRF Northwest a central location for timely notification of upcoming rating appeals.

All PHRF NW rating appeals  are open to the public, or any interested parties. Historically rating appeals have been held at the Annual Handicappers Council Meetings.

At the January 2005 meeting, the board and handicappers voted that PHRF NW would incorporate more frequent opportunities for a member to present a rating appeal , instead of waiting for an annual meeting.

If necessary, an  "as sailed rating"  appeal can be heard at a sub-regional level, by a sub-group of handicappers under the guidance of the Chief Handicapper.

This will allow for more frequent "as sailed rating" appeals, and less travel for some members. 

The rating appeal process has NOT changed. The appeals still have to be submitted on the proper forms, with attending documentation, to the handicapper of the boat.

The Handicapper will review the appeal for completeness, and merit. Once that is done, the handicapper has the option of coordinating a sub- regional group meeting. 

The meeting will be made open to the public, and notification for such meetings will be made no less than 21 days prior to the meeting.

Notification for these meetings  will now be done via the PHRF NW website. No longer will individual letters be the only means of notification. 

Please frequent our notice board, for upcoming appeal notices. If you have any questions, please contact your handicapper.
