Ranking System
Ranking System
The Kona ranking system is simple and consists of two factors only;
1) Base points (Fixed)
2) Number of competitors (Reversed score)
The base points for national and international races shall be rewarded progressivly as follows;
National races; 25 points
National Championships and international races; 50 points
Continental Championships; 75 points
World Championships; 100 points
Example; The winner of a national race with 25 competitors will score 25 + 25 = 50 points. The second placed will score 25 + 24 = 49 points etc.
In events with weight groups started together, the score shall reflect the total number of competitors.
Example; The winner of the light weight division (25 competitors) may place 3rd. overall; 25 + 23 = 48 points.
In events with separate starts for each weight group, the score shall be based on total amount of competitors. (all weight groups included)
Example; If the total number of competitors are 99, the winner of each group - regardless of its individual number of racers - shall be given the factor of 99.
The winners of each group shall receive 99 points + the base points rewarded in accordance with base point schedule above.
The ranking is a continuous system, whereby individual event scores dating back more than a year will be erased.
A sailors score will only reveal results made within the last 12 months to ensure a fair and up to date picture.
Example; If you had x amount of valid ranking scores within the season, and the first one was accumulated at April 1st.-
it will be deducted from your total on April 1st. the following year.
