Low Point Scoring System as described in RRS Appendix A with ¾ of a point awarded for first place. 2. Boats not registered will not be scored. 3. NREG = number of boats registered. NSTART = number of boats started in a race as determined by the Race Committee. 4. A boat starting incorrectly (over early) and not restarting (see sailing instruction # 11) is scored OCS for that race. 5. A boat disqualified for reasons other than OCS is scored DSQ for that race. 6. A boat finishing and thereafter retiring is scored RET for that race. 7. The score for OCS = DSQ = RET= NSTART +1. 8. A boat starting but not finishing is scored DNF for that race and is awarded points equal to the number of finishers +1. 9. A boat not starting in a race is scored DNS for that race. DNS = NREG. 10. A boat registering after the series has begun is scored DNS for all earlier races using the DNS value for the first date that it was registered. 11. A boat which has elected to take an Alternative Penalty for a rule infraction (see SI #15 12.

Maximum points may not exceed NSTART + 1. Scores of other boats are not affected. 13. Spring & Summer Series Scoring: A boat’s score for the series is the average place of all the races it sailed, after permitted throwouts. All registered boats qualify for the series, but a minimum of 66% of the races run must be counted towards a boat’s score, even if the boat participates in fewer races. If a boat sails in at least 66% of the races PLUS 1 race, then they receive 1 throw-out for the series. If a boat sails in at least 80% of the races PLUS 2 races, then they receive 2 throw outs for the series. 14. Overall Season Series: A boat’s score for the series is the average place of all the races it sailed, after permitted throwouts. All registered boats qualify for the series, but a minimum of 66% of the races run must be counted towards a boat’s score, even if the boat participates in fewer races. If a boat sails in at least 66% of the races PLUS 2 races, then they receive 2 throw outs for the series. If a boat sails in at least 80% of the races PLUS 4 races, then they receive 4 throw outs for the series. 15.
