A Temporary Rating may be provided by Chief handicapper in the event a handicap is requested to race in an upcoming race which will take place before a meeting, and the board is unable to vote on the rating (Prior to race). The request should be email approved or voted on at next board meeting to make permanent. In the event at a board meeting where an owner has submitted an application, fees are paid, but the Board believes it does not have sufficient data or information to accurately rate a boat, a Temporary rating may be provided with the understanding the owner should submit race results during the three months to show data, to verify the Temporary Rating. Temporary rating may be adjusted after review of results. In the event the data is not provided the temporary rating will be considered expired at the end of 120 days. A new complete application (Minus Fees) will need to be presented to board to have the boat considered again for a PHRF certificate. The Chief Handicapper may, at his or her discretion, renew the Temporary Rating twice.
