ELIGIBILITY

• All teams competing in one of the participating events are automatically entered for the tour.

​

• Teams will be identified by name. Any temporary or permanent name changes should be sent to ukteamracingtour@gmail.com before the event.

​

• There will be no limits to the number of helm and crew changes

SCORING OF EVENTS

• A high point scoring system shall apply

​

• A team's event score will be determined by the formula Score = Base * C1 * C2, where "Base" is determined by their position at the event, "C1" is a coefficient based on the size of the event, and "C2" is a coefficient based on the strength of the event, determined by the average Elo rating of the ten highest-ranked teams competing.

• The values of "Base", "C1" and "C2" shall be determined using the table below

​

• One-day events shall be awarded half points

​

• Teams involved in ties that cannot be separated using Appendix D4.4 sections a-c of the RRS will be awarded the average points of the positions under contention. This may differ from the scoring system used by the event organisers.

SCORING OF SERIES

• A team's best 5 results will count towards their overall series score

• A team's best 3 results in any one zone shall count towards their series score in that zone.

• Teams may only score points at one event per weekend. If two teams are entered at different events under the same name, only the higher-scoring team's points will be added to their series score.

• ​Ties in a series​ will be broken using, in the following order:

  • Total points in events at which all teams in the tiebreak participated.​

  • Each team's event scores in descending order, broken at the first point of difference

  • Highest points in the most recent event at which all teams in the tiebreak participated.

  • If the tie cannot be broken using these three steps the teams will share the places under contention.​, with each team being awarded average points
