Race Structure/ Awards
Races
Each team will compete in 2 qualifying races. The average time for each team will be calculated after these 2 races. Based upon the average race time, each team will be placed in the final divisional race.
The number of divisions will be determined by the total number of teams. If there is to be 28 teams, for example, the final divisional race will consist of 7 races, each with four boats. Division 7, would be the 4 slowest boats, and Division 1, the four fastest boats. Division 1 will be the final race (Championship race) and will determine the final overall winner.
