High Point Series Rules
Description: The annual High Point Series consists of 12 races, six races each from each of our two harbors, King Harbor and Marina del Rey. The individual races are hosted by member Yacht Clubs of the Association. All Notices of Race, Sailing Instructions and fees are issued and specified by the host clubs. The scheduled High Point Series events consist of PHRF, One-design, ORCA and Cruiser classes. When a High Point event includes multiple races, the High Point race is the second race of the day.
Eligibility: An entrant in the High Point Series is an individual who is named in the race results of the designated High Point Race, and who is a member in good standing of an ASMBYC club. Their boat must participate in six (6) races to qualify. Individuals who are not affiliated with an ASMBYC club are welcome to participate and may be scored, however they are not eligible for awards. Scoring: The entrant’s score in each High Point event is computed depending on his/her position and on the number of boats sailing in his/her class. The score is determined by the following formula: ((number of boats surpassed + 1)/ number of boats entered in the class) X 100 and rounded to the nearest integer. A score of DNF, OCS, DSQ, or RAF will establish participation in an event. An abandoned race is not scored. A bonus is given to each entrant racing in an event outside his/her home harbor. The entrant's score for that event is increased 30% as calculated above. A boat's home harbor is determined by its associated yacht club. Boats that don’t meet this requirement, will have it assigned by The Hight Point Chair. Boat must participate in six (6) races to qualify for the series. The total of an entrant’s best six scores will be combined for an overall score and the basis for receiving an award.
Awards: Two perpetual trophies are to be properly engraved and awarded at the ASMBYC Annual Installation Dinner, usually held in January of the year following the series. "The High Point Championship Trophy": awarded to the entrant having the highest overall score. "The Home Harbor Trophy": is awarded to the entrant from the other harbor than that of the High Point Championship Trophy recipient, and has the highest overall score among those from the other harbor.
