Applications for places will be determined in relation to the number of
registered boats whose owners are members of their respective National
Association. Every National Association
must pay its annual subscription to OKDIA before the 1st March. They will lose 25% of their quota in all
International Championships if they do not pay before 15th March in any one
year. If the subscription is not paid before the 1st April they will lose all
their places.
Member Associations will inform the Class Secretary at least 3 months before
the event if they do not intend to take their full allocation. The re-allocation of these places will be at
the discretion of the OKDIA Committee.
If countries do not pick up their allocated places and have not informed
OKDIA at least 3 months before the event, they may have to pay the entry fee
either to the organising club, organising National Association, or to OKDIA.

The Committee of OKDIA will
determine the number of boats that may be entered by National Associations for
World and European Championships. Applications for places will be determined in
relation to the number of registered boats whose owners are members of their

Member Associations will inform the Class Secretary at least 3 months before the event if they do not intend to take
their full allocation.
The re-allocation of extra places will be done by the
OKDIA committee using the following formula in the following priority order:
1.
Extra places
to be allocated to any National Association sending boats in a container until
that container is filled with its maximum number of boats.
2.
Extra places
to be allocated to National Associations in proportion to the number of paid up
OKDIA members they have, not exceeding the number of places requested by
National Associations.
3.
Extra places
to be allocated to the National Association hosting the Worlds that year.
If countries do not pick up their allocated
places and have not informed OKDIA at least 3 months before the event, they may
have to pay the entry fee either to the organising club, organising National
Association, or to OKDIA.
