Double trap trials in September?

Is it classes or events at November? I believe that they choose the events a year before they choose the classes. If they decide to include "Women's High performance dinghy" or whatever there would then be a year to pick a class. If not then no need for a trial.

Just looked it up. From the ISAF Regulations at http://www.sailing.org/regulations/2007_partIV.pdf

16.1.1 Council shall make the following decisions on Olympic Events and Equipment (classes): (a) at the November meeting of Council seven years before the Olympic Sailing Competition, decide the Olympic Events and Equipment selection criteria (regulation 16.1.5); (b) at the November meeting of Council five years before the Olympic Sailing Competition, decide the Events. (c) at the November meeting of Council four years before the Olympic Sailing Competition, decide the Equipment. Council will decide the list of possible Equipment at the prior mid-year meeting, such Equipment to be selected, except in exceptional circumstances, from Equipment in respect of which the ISAF has entered into an acceptable form of ISAF Olympic Classes Contract with the relevant Class Association or other appropriate organization at the time of that mid-year meeting.

So for 2012 I think that "selection criteria" was the year before last (what is that??), choice of events is this year, and choice of class next year, unless I've read it wrong.

Of course they can change the regulations...

So I think there is still chance. If I recall correctly the first trial was to establish the feasibility of the women's high performance event and the outcome was positive. They could not decide on the class but agreed on the feasibility of the event. It makes sense then to delay the second trials and save energy on all parts if the event doesn't get inserted into the games. In other words, November meeting is critical towards establishing which events (if any) are dropped out in order to insert women's high performance. I believe 2 were expected to drop in order to retain total of 10. Fingers crossed.
