Important changes to the calculation of overall series scores:
Following decisions made at the European Annual General Meeting in November, the overall series scoring for the Europa Cup has changed. Previously, a competitor's best 4 results were counted to calculate the overall score, regardless of which events the competitor attended.
From 2010, the overall series scoring will work as follows:
The overall series will consist of 14 events/regattas.
To be included in the overall series, a competitor must fulfil the following criteria:
(a) attend at least 3 events
(b) must attend at least one regatta of group A which is made up of:
- Hyères (France)
- Torbole (Italy)
- Warnemünde (Germany)
(c) must attend a second regatta of Group B which is made up of:
- Hyères (France)
- Torbole (Italy)
- Warnemünde (Germany)
- Lugano (Switzerland)
- Scheveningen (Netherlands)
- Wolfgangsee (Austria)
- Hvar (Croatia)
To calculate a competitor’s overall series score, 4 event results will be included as follows:
(1) a competitor’s best event result from Group A;
(2) a competitor’s best event result from Group B (which cannot be the same result as in (1) );
(3) plus a competitor’s two further best event results from any of the series regattas (which cannot be the same results as in (1) and (2) ).
The winner shall be the boat with the lowest total score.
