Asia and Oceania Championship
OBJECTIVES
- The aim of the Asian & Oceanian Championship is to promote youth sailing worldwide and particularly in the relevant continent.
- The prime objective of the Championship is to ensure the highest quality racing is provided for young sailors from the relevant continent in the Optimist Dinghy.
- The Championship shall also provide the environment necessary to ensure that individual friendships may develop among competitors, and goodwill among all participating nations.
FORMAT

The Optimist Asian & Oceanian Team Racing Championship is organised for up to 16 teams from IODA Members represented by at least four sailors. The qualification system is as follows:
- After a total number of completed races sailed before the team racing event(s), the total points of the 4 competitors with the best cumulative results from each Member will be added to give a total score for the first team of each member. The total points of the following 4 sailors with the best cumulative results from each Member will be added to give a total score for the second team of each Member.
- The host country has the right to enter up to three teams (when it has sufficient sailors entered in the IAOC) even if not so qualified. Such teams shall replace the last team stated in 5.2 (a).
- If the number of teams eligible to sail the team racing event is less than 16, the series will be sailed with the number of existing teams according to a format provided by the IODA PRO.
