Introduction
The objective of the ranking is to allow the local sailors to compare their performance against others. SingaporeSailing will use the ranking as the basic criteria to invite deserving sailors to its national training squad.
The Ranking System is adopted from the successful SOF Ranking System but with some modifications. This Ranking System will be standardised and applied to all fleets.
Ranking Regatta
Each year, a series of regattas will be identified as Ranking Regattas. For a regatta to be identified as a Ranking Regatta, the regatta must have at least 5 scheduled races over 2 days. Points will be awarded to each sailor based on their regatta results and number of entries. The results of Ranking Regatta would only be used if 3 or more races' are conducted.
Awarding Points
Sailors need to compete in at least one race of the regatta to be awarded points (i.e. a score other than a DNC). For a regatta with 125 entries, the first placing will be awarded 125 points; the second placing 124 points; the third placing 123 points and so forth. For a regatta with 15 entries, the first placing will be awarded 15 points; the second placing 14 points; the third placing 13 points and so forth.
Foreign sailors' results, if any, will not be excluded from the computation of ranking points.

Overseas Commitment
For those sailors on overseas regattas/training commitment during the ranking regatta, points will be awarded accordingly to them based on their current ranking. Example, if the sailor's ranking is 2nd just before his overseas trip, he would be awarded 37 points if there are 38 entries in the regatta that he missed.
Double-Handled
If the partnership of a double-handled boat splits up, the helm will carry the ranking points and the crew will follow that of the new helm. This does not imply that the crew is less important than the helm but it is computed in this manner solely for ease of implementation.
Ranking
After each regatta, the sailor ranking will be computed based on the last six ranking regattas' results with the best five regattas' results to count. This method will provide us with a moving average reflecting the sailor's current performances.
Review
Every six months (i.e., end of Jun and Dec), the Ranking System will be reviewed and adjustments made, if necessary. |
