Create a pairing list for On-The-Water judging at an international event. List the three boats (Boat A, Boat B, Boat C), the people in each rib, and the people on shore for each day.

IJ stands for International Judge. NJ stands for National Judge.
Each judge's country's three-letter code is included.

The pairing rules are as follows:

There are three boats.
Each boat must have at least one IJ.
Maximum of 3 people in a boat. 2 is preferred.
Each boat must have a local licence holder in the boat.
The event starts on Thursday and ends Sunday. Each day requires on-the-water judging.
If possible, there are not two from the same country in each boat.
XXX is not available on Wednesday.
There should be as much rotation of pairs each day. Each NJ should be with each IJ where possible.
Not everyone need be on the water each day, but do not have anyone on shore more than one day.
XXX does not hold a local licence. XXX and XXX do hold a local licence. All other local judges hold a local licence.
NJs should have roughly equal number of days on and days off as other NJs. IJs should have roughly equal number of days on and days off as other IJs.
Relax “2-person boats preferred” (allow one more 3-person boat) to make things easier.
XXX  needs to be off on Saturday.
XXX  needs to be off on Sunday.
Do not mark people as 'Off'. Mark them as 'Onshore' instead.

Jury list and qualification below...

XXX, IJ, MNA
XXX, IJ, MNA
XXX, NJ, MNA
etc..

1. IMO, age restrictions of the fleet mathematically shift the level of competency we're looking for. A 10yo will not be at the same level as a 25yo.
2. same here, except I think the only difference between a 20yo and an adult is the level of athleticism expected... we should expect a high level of athleticism in racing where all sailors are college-aged
3. same again for me. If we limit boats to 2 people, then we must also force them to give each other extra room for a douse. Indeed, 2 people is BY DEFINITION appropriate for the boat, as no more are allowed in that event!!!! To say otherwise would be to force collisions at leeward marks!
4. Same. If you are required to have no more than two people, then you are only required to have two competent people, and room needs to account for that.
5. Trickier, but easy to handle. I wouldn't go to the group average, but I would definitely want at least a percentage of the participants to be capable of sailing within the definition of room... otherwise what are we doing?
6. Yeah. I think we need to hold championship sailors to a higher standard. If you're going to show up and compete for a high level national or world championship, then you're agreeing that you can sail above the level of "competent".
7. same as #6

• IMO it is appropriate within the statements from Case 103 to adjust "competent crew" to fit age and other crew restrictions as required by the event/fleet/SI's, etc. (statements 1-4)
• I also feel it makes sense to do so for statements 5-7, but I'm not sure that syncs up with Case 103.
