KEY POINTS:
The challenger series has become a shambles with five of the past six days of racing postponed because of light airs.
America's Cup Management chief executive Michel Bonnefous refuses to explain why Valencia was chosen to host the event when data suggested fickle winds are common at this
time of the year.
Alinghi set the dates for the America's Cup, choosing to start the match on June 23 in order not to clash with the Tour de France.
The challengers were forced to work back from that date for the Louis Vuitton series.
But it now appears not enough consideration was given to the possibility of calm conditions straining an already compressed challenger series.
Round one has been rejigged and effectively restarted. Flights one and two were sailed on Friday night (NZT) and the regatta will now progress with consecutive flights.
The format for round two, the semifinals and finals is still under discussion.
Round two, scheduled to start on Wednesday, is now set for Saturday.
If round-robin one continues until then, some teams want the rest day provided in the original schedule.
But others are more concerned with ensuring round two doesn't drag on to the start of the semifinals, due to start on May 14.
Emirates Team New Zealand want the gap between the round robins and semifinals preserved in order to give themselves maximum time to prepare - provided they make it that far.
"We are in favour of making sure there is the maximum amount of time that they had scheduled between the round robins and the semifinals," Team New Zealand tactician Terry Hutchinson said.
"If we have to do two races a day between now and the end of the round robin two that is fine by us.
"You use these round robins to evaluate your boat and your boat's performance against the rest of the fleet.
"Having the maximum amount of days [between the round robin and the semis] gives you an opportunity to optimise your boat."
But BMW Oracle Racing's sailing manager, Craig Monk, said back-to-back racing was not a concern for his team.
"We are happy to sail 200 days in a row if that's what it takes," Monk said.
"We are ready to go the distance."
