Principles

The aim of CHIPS is to produce scores for each race series that are based upon each boats performance, while reflecting as fairly as possible the degree of competitiveness in each race.

The key features of the scoring system are:

1. At the end of a series the winner is the helm with the highest points score.
2. For any particular finishing position in a race, a boat is allocated a greater score if it beats more boats. (see table)
3. The score for a Retirement is equivalent to finishing in “last +1” place.
4. If you come to the start area and by your actions indicate, that you intend to start the race, you will be scored “last +1” place.
5. The score for a Disqualification or “Did-Not-Start” is Zero points.
6. Officer of the Day duty is scored at the average for all of his or her series scores.
7. Participation in Class events is rewarded, and missed club races will be scored at the average for all of his or her series scores.
