SCORING
C10.1:
The winning competitor of each match scores one point (half a point each for a dead heat); the loser scores no points.
C10.2:
When a competitor withdraws from part of an event the scores of all completed races shall stand.
C10.3:
When a single round robin is terminated before completion, or a multiple round robin is terminated during the first round robin, a competitor's score shall be the average points scored per match sailed by the competitor. However, if any of the competitors have completed less than one-third of the scheduled matches, the entire round robin shall be disregarded and, if necessary, the event declared void. For the purposes of tie-breaking in rule C11.1(a), a competitor’s score shall be the average points scored per match between the tied competitors.
C10.4:
When a multiple round robin is terminated with an incomplete round robin, only one point shall be available for all the matches sailed between any two competitors, as follows:
| Number of matches completed between any two competitors | Points for each win |
|---|---|
| 1 | One point |
| 2 | Half a point |
| 3 | A third of a point |
| (etc.) |
C10.5:
In a round-robin series,
- (a) competitors shall be placed in order of their total scores, highest score first;
- (b) a competitor who has won a match but is disqualified for breaking a rule against a competitor in another match shall lose the point for that match (but the losing competitor shall not be awarded the point); and
- (c) the overall position between competitors who have sailed in different groups shall be decided by the highest score.
C10.6:
In a knockout series the sailing instructions shall state the minimum number of points required to win a series between two competitors. When a knockout series is terminated it shall be decided in favour of the competitor with the higher score.
C10.7:
When only one boat in a match fails to sail the course, she shall be scored no points (without a hearing).
