As of 9/15/2008, the various rankings have been centralized to allow easier management, easier comparisons,
and long term history.
Road Warriors
The Road Warrior rankings are a simple system of
scoring every sailor at every regatta. The system
works as follows:
- At each regatta the finish of each
sailor is recorded.
- If sailor A finishes 1st and
sailor B finishes 6th, than sailor A receives 1
point, and sailor B gets 6 points.
- If sailor C did
not attend the event, sailor C receives last plus
one spot.
So if 17 boats were at the regatta,
sailor C gets 18 points because they did not attend. This process is done for the entire
season, so a sailor’s score is their finishes at all
the regatta’s they sailed plus last + 1 for all the
regatta’s they did not sail. That gives the sailor
their total score.
Missing bigger events hurts
more than smaller events. For example, at this years
Nationals there was 59 boats, so sailors that did
not attend received 60 points.
Team Rankings
The Team
Rankings work much the same as the Road Warrior
except the top four boats are scored at every
regatta for every Club. If a Club had no boats show
up then all four boats get last + 1.
For example, if no boats from your Club attended Nationals
this year, your Club received 60 points for all four
boats. So your team total would be 240 points at that event. If your Club had one boat
attend and it finished 21st then the Club’s score would be 21
points for the boat that sailed and 60 points for
the three boats that did not, a total of 201
points.
If a Club has more than four boats that
sailed, only the top four finishes are the Clubs score.
One important note: If your
Club does have more then four boats sail, it still
helps the Club because even though the only the top
four are scored, the extra boats add points to any
club that did not sail, or any boat from another
Club that they beat that is being scored in their
top four. So this system rewards Clubs that
both
have large turnouts and also sail
well.
