Scoring

Scoring for the Wednesday Night and Frostbite Spinnaker Series races will be determined using a “Low Point” system according to USSA RRS Appendix A,
with the following exceptions:

  1. Yachts starting, but scored as DNF, will score the average of points awarded to all DNF boats assuming all had finished and none had tied. The average will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. For example, if seven boats start and four score DNF, then the four DNF boats will all receive a score of (4+5+6+7)/4 = 5.5. The result rounds down to 5.
  2. Yachts registered for a series, but scored as DNC or DNS, will score one point more than the number of boats starting that race.
  3. A registered racer serving as Race Committee (RC) will be scored as follows: the average of all scores for the series, excluding throwouts, rounded down to the nearest
    whole number. Example: individual scores for a series are 2,3,6,(RC),2,3. 6 is the throwout, average of the remainder is 2.5, therefore score for RC duty is 2.
