Races
Each year, OSS conducts approximately 10 OSS races which are held in a circuit racing format, usually close to shore to achieve a better spectator experience. At each of the races, points are awarded, which are tabulated in the national standings. The highest points count at the end of the year determines the OSS National Champion. Usually in November, OSS conducts a World Championship, which is held over the course of a week. This World Championship is open to members of other race organizations. In 2006, OSS entered a 5 year contract with Destin, Florida, to host OSS World Championships.

Famous quotes containing the word races:
“Listen, my friend, there are two races of beings. The masses teeming and happy—common clay, if you like—eating, breeding, working, counting their pennies; people who just live; ordinary people; people you can’t imagine dead. And then there are the others—the noble ones, the heroes. The ones you can quite well imagine lying shot, pale and tragic; one minute triumphant with a guard of honor, and the next being marched away between two gendarmes.”
—Jean Anouilh (1910–1987)
“While the white man keeps the impetus of his own proud, onward march, the dark races will yield and serve, perforce. But let the white man once have a misgiving about his own leadership, and the dark races will at once attack him, to pull him down into the old gulfs.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“There are only two races on this planet—the intelligent and the stupid.”
—John Fowles (b. 1926)
