Scoring

Invitationals & Qualifiers: The final standings of each regatta will be calculated using low point scoring based on the performance in each race of that event. There will be NO throw-outs.
PGJSA Championship: Low point scoring based on the final rankings of 3 Qualifiers will be used to calculate the Series Champions. If a competitor participates in more than 3 Qualifiers the final rankings from the best 3 Qualifiers will be used.  Scores of non-PGJSA Member Club participants during the season will NOT be included in the Championship calculations.

Awards

The top sailors will be recognized and prizes will be awarded at the final regatta and BBQ held at Devon Yacht Club on Wednesday, August 11, 2010.  The PGJSA may also award the Frederick T. Markham Sportsmanship Trophy.
