Air Capitol Model Sailing Club

Class Championship Scoring Format

 

Throughout the season, skippers sailing in classes sanctioned by the club will have the opportunity to earn points toward the class championship. Class champions will be named at the conclusion of the racing season (generally in November).

 

Classes can be comprised of boats belonging to one of the club-sanctioned fleets (Victoria, Seawind, F48) or made up of mixed classes. Mixed fleets will be used in the event that not enough boats are consistently represented from the club- sanctioned fleets to be scored on their own (generally, 4 like boats makes a fleet).

 

At the conclusion of each race event, competitors are assigned points based on their order of finish in that race. At the end of the racing season, the skipper with the least amount of points is crowned class champion for the season.

Competitors that are unable to attend events will be given a DNC status and points for that event. DNC points are equal to the total number of competitors in their class that were present for the event(s) missed, plus one point per event. (For example, if a competitor misses a race, and that race featured 4 competitors in their respective class, they would have 5 points added to their season standings, or 4 + 1.)

 

The idea behind having club championships is to increase interest in club races, and encourage friendly competition.

 

ALWAYS REMEMBER this is a hobby not war, and the emphasis should always be on sportsmanship and above all else FUN!!
