The Offshore Racing Congress Rule is a system of handicapping sailboats for the purpose of racing that is being developed and promoted to replace the IRC Sailing IRC currently in general use as of 2008 . It is managed by the Offshore Racing Congress Offshore Racing Congress ORC and is usually referred to in the sailing community simply as ORC . ORC is an enhanced version of the earlier International Measurement System IMS handicapping system that was the dominant system used globally from the early 1990s to the early 2000s. The ORC rule uses essentially the same concepts as the earlier IMS system but with a much more sophisticated velocity prediction program performing the handicapping calculations than was available in the IMS era. This improved program is designed to eliminate the problems that led to IMS falling out of favour with yacht clubs in the early 2000s. IMS is as of 2008 gaining support among the premium ocean racing clubs around the world ref http orc.org news 081003.htm news0 An Interview with Syd Fischer ref ref http orc.org news 080911.htm news0 An ORC Presentation in Sydney ref as it is an open system, where all the details of the handicapping formula are available to designers and boat owners. This allows a greater degree of certainty when designing boats than closed, secret formulas such as IRC Sailing IRC allow for. Also, being open, every individual yacht club can perform the handicapping calculations and issue handicap certificates for the yachts in their own fleets. This eliminates the bottle necks and delays encountered when waiting for certificates to be issued by a single global authority, such as has been experienced with the IRC rule. To encourage the growth of the rule, two versions have been developed. The ORC International rule is the full complexity, highly developed version for top level championship racing. An ORC Club rule has also been developed, which is a simplified version more easily used by smaller clubs who have less resourc ... more details

The combined rule set, the International Offshore Rule or IOR, was initially successful.

It s a standard way of describing learning content that can be read by many programs. The most widely used content packaging format is that defined by IMS Global , which uses an XML manifest file called imsmanifest.xml wrapped up inside a zip file.

This organization plan and stage, with the help and support of the city of Rockford, the annual St. Patrick s Day Parade. They also hold an annual St. Patrick s Day Party. The group, known as IMS Unit 1, is located in that city. The first party was originally planned for a small Rockford Faust Hotel meeting room, but as word spread of the celebration, the party was moved to the Grand Ballroom. By 1984, the party had outgrown the Faust Hotel, and it was held in the Forest Hills Lodge. The party then moved to the Armory on North Main Street where it continued to grow in popularity. The largest estimated attendance was in 1991 when over 7,500 members, both IMS members as well as some non members and their children. With the closing of the Armory, the party was moved around the downtown area the Ing Skating Palace in 2002 and the Lyran Singing Society in 2003. In 2009 the party was held at the Cliffbreakers Restaurant in North Rockford. The first parade was held in 1980 in downtown Rockford and the tradition has continued along various routes over the years. The parade includes not only members and their families, but also bag pipe bands, high school bands, floats, various government officials, including in one year a U.S. Vice President , various animals including an elephant & birds of prey, color guards, various beauty pageant winners and participants and, of course, clowns. The IMS was founded to help preserve and celebrate the Irish heritage however membership is opened to person of all ethnic heritages.
