The Championship series runs through Spring, Autumn and part of Summer (the first two and the last two summer races). |
Points are accumulated from both the Yardstick and Performance Handicap System, PHS, results from all Autumn and Spring and part of Summer races. Winter races the middle part of the Summer series and the special races, Club, Marathon, Stern Chaser, Parks Victoria Trophy
and the Commodore's Cup, are excluded from the points tally.
|
The Championship Series is an open series meaning that that there are no Divisions apart from the separation into dinghies and multihulls. All boats from all classes and across all abilities are included.
|
In a typical year there are around 20 completed races that make up the Championship Series. More than 60 boats are generally involved. Competitors must sail more than half the races to be eligible for the Club Champion award.
It is the Yardstick result that is used to calculate the winner.
|
So the Championship is scored like one big regatta lasting over the best part of a whole season. The winners, the Club Champions, need to not only sail many races but also must be a consistent top performer.
