By steadily accumulating good results, and making sure they attend every regatta in the season, the team from Warwick Business School have finally knocked London Business School from the top of the MBA Sailing league rankings. With a respectible 5th place, at the GMT regatta in Rhodes, compared to London‘s 9th, the Warwick crew are now five points ahead in the rankings.
This is the first time that LBS have fallen from the top of the rankings since they were first compiled at the end of the 2009 season.
The MBA Sailing League rankings are calculated by adding together a team’s scores in each of the four MBA sailing regattas that make up the season. Following the 2011 Global MBA Trophy in Rhodes, this comprises the ABC 2010 in La Ciotat, the Cranfield Regatta 2010 in the Solent, the Rolex MBA’s Cup 2010 in Santa Margharita Ligure, and the GMT 2011.
Cranfield remain third in the table, despite not attending the GMT, while Manchester and Exeter are fourth and fifth.
GMT winners, Chicago, rise a massive 12 places up the rankings to 15th, while the team from Trium help HEC up 10 places and into the top 10.
Apart from LBS, the big losers from the results in Greece were Rotterdam School of Management,whose 14th place drops them down 4 spots to 8th.
