STAYING LOW IN THE MAWCIVIL WIND WARRIOR SAILING GP POINT SCORING SYSTEM!

The WW SGP scoring system is succinct! The aim is to achieve minimal points, which are awarded for regatta races and event finals, and are combined to add up to determine an EIGHT (8) WW yacht line-up in the ‘sudden death’ winner-takes-all BYS Season Grand Final.

POINT SCORING AT INDIVIDUAL EVENTS

At each of the three (3) individual WW SGP events, there is a target for a minimum of FIVE (5) fleet races, with a maximum of EIGHT (8) fleet races, before the winner takes all ‘Event Final’ determines the ‘Event Champion.    (Note: There is minimum of one (1) race being completed before there is eligibility to hold an ‘Event final’)
