Different event, different system. Same Google Doc.
Sailing events file protest decisions through different systems — sailti, manage2sail, or RRS — each with its own form structure and capabilities. This add-on lets your panel draft, co-scribe, and quality-check decisions in one consistent Google Docs template, then file into whichever system your event actually uses.
One template, co-scribed, filed in any event's system.
Different events use different protest-filing systems with different structures and capabilities. This add-on lets your panel work in one consistent Google Docs template — collaboratively if you want — and handles the translation into whichever system your event uses.
Standard wording library
A side panel with common procedural language, facts patterns, and conclusion templates — organized by category, searchable, one click to insert at the cursor.
Co-scribing & quality check
Multiple panel members can co-scribe a decision simultaneously in the same Google Doc — write, edit, comment, and quality-check together in real time. The decision becomes a panel artifact, not a single-scribe bottleneck.
Files into your event's system
One Copy action serializes the decision into whichever system the event uses — sailti, manage2sail, or RRS. Field structures and capabilities differ; the add-on handles the translation, including the jury-member smart chips that no other tool can read.
From hearing to filed decision in six steps.
Open your jury decision document
Start from the standard template — Procedural Matters, Facts Found, Rules applicable, Conclusions, Decision, decision date and time, jury members.
Click the red flag in the right panel
Once installed, the add-on lives behind a red flag icon in Google Docs' right-edge panel. One click opens the jury workspace.
Draft and quality-check together
Build the decision using the wording library — search by keyword, click any snippet to insert at your cursor, set the decision date and time with one click. Multiple panel members can co-scribe simultaneously, comment on each other's work, and quality-check the decision together before submission.
Copy for sailti / RRS / m2s
When the decision is ready, click Copy. The add-on extracts every field — including the smart-chip dropdowns — and copies a structured payload to your clipboard.
Open the filing system in a new tab
Navigate to sailti, manage2sail, or racingrulesofsailing.org — whichever your event uses to officially file decisions.
Click the Fill jury decision bookmarklet
A small browser bookmarklet pastes every field into the right form input — chairman, scribe, panel members, dates, Rules applicable, decision text. Review, submit.
Two pieces. Both free.
The Google Docs add-on and the browser bookmarklet work as a pair. You'll need both — neither one charges anything.
Google Docs add-on
Installs from the Google Workspace Marketplace. Accept the permissions and the red flag appears in any Google Doc, behind the right-edge icon panel.
Install from Marketplace →Browser bookmarklet
A small JavaScript snippet you drag to your browser's bookmarks bar. Click it on sailti, manage2sail, or RRS to fill the decision form with whatever is on your clipboard.
Install the bookmarklet →Start from the standard jury decision template.
The add-on reads a specific document structure — Procedural Matters, Facts Found, Rules applicable, Conclusions, and Decision sections, plus tables for the decision date and time and the jury members as smart-chip dropdowns. The simplest way to get this right is to duplicate the working template.
- Click Duplicate the template below — Google Docs will show a "Make a copy" prompt.
- Confirm the copy. It saves to your Drive.
- Rename the copy for your event (e.g., "World Sailing Trophy 2026 — Decision template").
- Replace the placeholder jury member chips with your actual panel. Then duplicate again per decision, keeping the chips intact.
An international judge's personal project.
Sailing Jury Decision is built and maintained by Yoann Peronneau, an international sailing judge. It's a personal effort to bring panel collaboration into the drafting process and to remove the manual form-filling that surrounds protest decisions — not affiliated with World Sailing, manage2sail, sailti, racingrulesofsailing.org, or any sailing federation.
It's provided free of charge as a contribution to the international judging community. No subscriptions, no premium tier, no telemetry. The code reads your active decision document, copies it to your clipboard, and stops there — your data never reaches the developer.
