Rule C10 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 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).
