RANKINGS

Olympic Class, Fleet Racing Rankings

The World Sailing Rankings for Olympic Classes are administered by World Sailing. Every year, in November, the World Sailing Rankings Working Party meet to review the method of calculation of the Rankings and to grade events to be included in the Rankings. The Fleet Rankings are calculated and published approximately nine times a year, depending on the calendar of events.

Each team counts their best six results over the previous 12 months; the time period is calculated on a rolling basis from the date that the rankings were published.They may also include the previous World Championship, outside of the 12 month period.

Of those six results, a competitor may count a maximum of three results from the World Cup Series.

The following Grades apply:

- 200-points Sailing World Cup, Olympic class World Championships, Sailing World Championships;
- 100-points Olympic Class World Championships (not-compliant with 200-point criteria), Olympic class Continental Championships and Other major international events using Olympic equipment;
- 50-points Olympic Class Continental Championships, other international events using Olympic equipment (not compliant with 100-point criteria).

Additional criteria:

- The calculation may count 3x Sailing World Cup, 200 point events
- The calculation may count the two most recent World Championship regattas.
- Tie breaks should be broken by the rank of the relevant sailors in the last published rankings
- Sailors will be able to count points from two further 200 points with their remaining tallies coming from 100 or 50 point regattas.
- No points tally can exceed 1,000 points.

To feature in the Rankings, competitors must have a World Sailing ID and an XRR results file must be sent to World Sailing by the Organising Authority. A first place result will receive 200, 100 or 50 points depending on the grade. The competitor with the highest total from six events is listed first in the rankings, and so on.

Ranking Points are calculated using the following equation:

______________________________________

Ranking Points = E (N-P+1) / N
E = Event Rank
N = Number of Entries
P = Position in regatta
