Medals
Medals will be awarded to first, second, and third-place finishers in each event. If there are only three entries in a race, only Gold and Silver will be awarded, and if there are only two entries in a race, only Gold will be awarded.
Medals will be awarded to all divisions of masters & youth events.
Team Points Awards
Team champions will be recognized with awards in Youth, Women’s Collegiate, Men’s Collegiate and Masters categories. A Team Points trophy will be awarded to the team in each category that achieves the greatest total points using the following scoring system:
Place | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th | 8th | 9th | 10th |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
8+ | 80 | 72 | 64 | 56 | 48 | 40 | 32 | 24 | 16 | 8 |
4+/4x | 40 | 36 | 32 | 28 | 24 | 20 | 16 | 12 | 8 | 4 |
2-/2x | 20 | 18 | 16 | 14 | 12 | 10 | 8 | 6 | 4 | 2 |
1x | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
Scoring is weighted for boat size (number of athletes) and the number of entries per event. The point grid is implemented from the right to the left, for example, a fours event that has only 5 entries, this results in 20 first-place points, 16 second place points, etc.
Each point level is awarded to only one boat per event, even if boats from different organization types compete in an event. For example, if both Collegiate and Masters boats compete in an Open event, points will be awarded to each boat as they finish regardless of organization “type”. Those points will be carried back by each boat to the respective point trophy for which they are competing.
Organizations
Organizations will be designated as Youth, Collegiate, or Masters for team points. Team points will be awarded based on the team designation and event type. Team points will be grouped by the exact organization name. Team points will not be combined with related organizations that fail to register using the same organization name.
Masters Team Points
Masters team points will be awarded to a master’s program for all events not designated “Youth” or “Collegiate”. This includes Masters, Championship, Open and Para events. Points will be awarded independently to all divisions within Masters events.
Youth Team Points
Youth team points will be awarded only for youth-designated events. This includes Youth, and Youth Novice. Points will be awarded independently for both U19 & U17 divisions within a Youth event.
Women’s & Men’s Collegiate Team Points
Collegiate team points will be awarded to a collegiate program for all events not designated as “Youth” or “Master”. This includes Collegiate, Championship, Open and Para events and does not include any Mixed event.
Exclusion From Team Points
Alumni and Parent/Child boats will not earn team points for any team. Composite boats will be awarded points consistent with the scoring system, but they will not be included in the team points totals of any club. If any organization determines that one or more of their entries should not be considered for the purpose of team points (in the interest of fairness or for any other reason), the organization should contact the regatta registrar.
