America’s Cup Update
This Weekend

America’s Cup Update
From : Jim Parker

My apologies for the lateness of this report, it will likely not make it out on SEN before the Dual Club Contest (I’ll refer to the FAI portion as the Patterson). I have had several inquiries on some events and answered them individually. There is sufficient time to plan for the AZ Champs. I also did not send this out to the AmCup check group due to my lateness. Please send corrections to my email, <[email protected]>.

Only the Patterson (LH, November 6-7) and AZ Champs (Eloy, December 6-7) remain for the 2025 Am Cup season. With the the caveat of “all but mathematically” seven of the ten events the first place positions look to be locked up. Jama Danier in F1A, Faust Parker in F1C and F1J, Emrick Smith (jr) in F1P, Blake Jensen in F1H, Jack Murphy in F1Q and Mike McKeever in F1E.

F1B,G and S have some interesting “what if’s”. I look for “sleepers”, that is a flyer with only 3 scores counted or a top five flyer with a “low” counted score. Generally the top flyers have good scores at Lost Hills so the Patterson generally will not be a decider. But AZ champs can be.

For example, Walt leads F1B with 103 points. Adith Alagiri (jr) 102 points and Blake Jensen 99 points are currently counting 19 points and 21 points at the Southwest Regionals, Eloy AZ. They both have high LH points, therefore, assuming no bonus points at the AZ Champs, Adith could place third and take the lead. Blake could place 2rd for first place.

F1G has some interesting possibilities. Again, Walt Ghio is in the lead with 102 points. Here, the sleeper is fourth place Bernard Guest with 79 points but with only 3 contest scores counted. He has two 27 point contests at LH so the Patternson is of no help but a simple 25 point win at the AZ Champs would give him 104 points for the win. Even second place, 23 points would tie Bernard with Walt and currently Bernard has the higher tie-breaker score.

F1S also has two flyers who could move into first place. Frank Mennano is in first with 101 points. Jack Murphy is in second, 100 points but counting a 22 point score from NorCal. So a first or second place at the AZ Champs would put him into first. Lynn Edmonson would need 2 bonus points (seven flyers) and the win to take the lead.

Hope I can get to the Az Champs to see who shows and what happens!
