Events & 果冻视频 Points Available

Points will be awarded to the top 4 individuals in the Men’s and Women’s Advanced competitions, and for the Men’s and Women’s Overall team the top 8 institutions will earn 果冻视频 points. Individuals will automatically be entered into the overall team competitions, provided there are enough eligible individuals from that institution to comprise a team.

Please note the following team compositions:

The points shall be a combination of the top three individual racing positions points from each university and their top team racing positions. The points from that team are multiplied by a correction factor to equalise the individual and team contribution to the overall standings. The correction factor shall use the formula –

Correction Factor =    

Number of individual competitors x number of individual races

DIVIDED BY

Number of teams x Number of team races

The total points for each university will be the team contribution multiplied by the correction factor added to the individual contribution.  The university with the lowest points will win the overall university trophy.

For the advanced division this kit consists of Tushingham Express sails up to 7.5m, RRD FireRace 112L boards, and all the other equipment needed to complete the setup.

For more information on equipment hire, please contact the SWA events rep who can offer further information.
