Which events are counted in the ranking list.

First, an event needs to be validated by the chief umpire!
Then, there is a maximum event per year, value in the table below.

For club : If a club send 3 teams, the 3 teams can potentially bring point to the ranking list by club (not only the best, it changes since 2022 October 17). Of course, there is still the limit of the best maximum number of event per year.

For country/MNA : If during an event, there are many teams from the same country, only the best team will bring point to this country.

Algorithms for the points received at an event

These algorithms can be updated sometime, to improve the ranking system

PointPosition: Point received according to the final position at the event.

EntryTotal: Number of entries at this event.

MNAtotal: Number of different MNA at this event.

ClubTotal: Number of different club at this event.

GradeFactor: Multiplicator factor according to the grading of the event.

RankBonus: Number of MNA/team/sailor (depending on the ranking list) behind in the event's final rank, but ahead in the ranking list.

GradeLimit: Value defined below depending on the grade: "Value for the grade X top sailor/club/MNA".

TopRacer: According to the grading of the event, it is the number of sailor/team/MNA above the "GradeLimit" to increase the EventFactor (according to the ranking list just before the event).

PointPosition= FinalRank * A + B where: A = (point_last - point_first) / (number_of_team - 1) and B = point_first - A


Example for the PointPosition for 15 teams registered (but you can have more teams!).
Horizontal : number of teams, vertical : final rank of a team.

For MNA ranking list

Entry_Factor: If MNAtotal < 10, the value is : MNAtotal/10. If MNAtotal >= 20, the value is : 1.1 . If MNAtotal >= 30, the value is : 1.2 . Otherwise, the value is 1.

Event_Factor calculation: if TopRacer >= (EntryTotal/2) then Event_Factor = GradeFactor + [ 0.008 * ( TopRacer - EntryTotal / 2 ) ] else Event_Factor = GradeFactor

Point_received= [ ( PointPosition * Entry_Factor) + RankBonus ] * Event_Factor

For Club/Team ranking list

Entry_Factor: If ClubTotal < 10, the value is : ClubTotal/10. If ClubTotal >= 20, the value is : 1.1 . If ClubTotal >= 30, the value is : 1.2 . Otherwise, the value is 1.

Event_Factor calculation: if TopRacer >= (EntryTotal/2) then Event_Factor = GradeFactor + [ 0.008 * ( TopRacer - EntryTotal / 2 ) ] else Event_Factor = GradeFactor

Point_received= [ ( PointPosition * Entry_Factor) + RankBonus ] * Event_Factor

For Sailor ranking list

Entry_Factor: If EntryTotal < 10, the value is : EntryTotal/10. If EntryTotal >= 20, the value is : 1.1 . If EntryTotal >= 30, the value is : 1.2 . Otherwise, the value is 1.

Event_Factor calculation: if TopRacer >= (EntryTotal/2) then Event_Factor = GradeFactor + [ 0.008 * ( TopRacer - EntryTotal / 2 ) ] else Event_Factor = GradeFactor

Point_received= [ ( PointPosition * Entry_Factor) + RankBonus ] * Event_Factor
