Scoring for Awards:
Spring and Fall Series Races:
Award points on high point system where N is the number of boats starting the race: First place = N, 2nd = N-1, etc DNF = 0. Winner is boat with highest points. In case of tie: Boat that has finished ahead of other boat the most times when competing in same races. This is to encourage participation. It is possible for someone to finish third in every race to win if boats that came in 1st and 2nd in the races didn’t compete in all the races.
Club Championship Trophy and Regattas:
Low score average points system. First place in a race equals .75, second equals 2, third equals 3, and so on. DNF = number of boats finishing plus 1. Disqualification = number of boats finishing + 2. Best average from one half the races run. If odd number of races run, round up after division to determine number of races to qualify.
