HOME - this month issue 1 2003- Cup standings and schedule
Louis Vuitton Cup (To select a challenger for the America's Cup)
How does the regatta work?
Teams earn one point for each win during the eight races of round robins 1 and 2, after which the top eight teams advance to quarter finals. The top 4 teams have the easier route to the semi-finals because, even if they lose in their quarter-finals, they get a second chance against winners of the quarter-finals for teams 5-8. Losers in the quarter-finals for teams 5-8 are eliminated.
Louis Vuitton Cup Finals (2 boats, best of 9 races):
Saturday Jan 11 - Tuesday Jan 21, 2003
Alinghi (Swiss) v Oracle BMW (USA)
America's Cup Final (2 boats, best of nine races):
Saturday Feb 15 - Saturday Mar 1, 2003
