Unofficial Alternate Scoring Methods
(1) High Point with CHIPS 3
The link presents our Season Series races scored using CHIPS High Point system. This system has lots of features, too many to list. The argument is that CHIPS is better (fairer) than low-point over a long series typical of club racing.
(Sparkline graphing program courtesy of Peter van Muyden)
Click here for more about CHIPS scoring history and method.
A significant down-side is that CHIPS high-point scoring is more difficult to understand than normal Appendix A-type low-point scoring because it is more difficult to work out what a competitor needs to achieve in order to overtake another boat in the series or avoid being overtaken.
Scoring under CHIPS 3 high-point results in rankings that are a little different than our official (US Sailing Appendix A low-point) results. It appears that CHIPS reduces the penalty for missing a few races, especially for those boats that often finish near the top of the fleet. The scoring tally presented here discards the worst (lowest) 20% of the scores; however, I think a more common approach employs no discards, but requires sailing in, say, 66% or 75% of the races to qualify for the series.
Click the button to display the 2023 season results scored under CHIPS 3 with no discards. Also, OOD is changed to be the average of non-DNC races (as opposed to our usual method deriving the average by excluding the discarded races).
CHIPS version 3 is the version currently in widest use around the world. There are about 4 or 5 parameters in the equation that control the distribution of scores, so there are other outcomes that could be achieved, depending upon what is valued. The third version was arrived at based on a couple years experience scoring races at the club where CHIPS algorithm was developed. See the related discussion linked below if you have more interest.
The link opens an article that provides more information from the originator about CHIPS scoring.
The next pictures plot the CHIPS 3 scores for up to 20 boat fleet (and smaller) – points vs. number of starters; one curve for each finish position. First place varies between about 85 points for 1st place in a one-boat race increasing to 100 points for 1st when there are 36 or more boats in the race. Last place varies more widely in points, depending on the number of starters. Note that DNS, DSQ, DNC, etc. each score 0 points. RET, WD, DNF score the points from the CHIPS formula for the number of starters + 1 (so, with 5 starters, DNF is points for 6th place, which is the lower blue curve with diamond markers). For any give number of starters, CHIPS 3 uses uniform point jumps (differential) between successive finish positions, but that increment changes for races with a different number of starters, as shown by the lowest mustard color line (note: the legend has the wrong color). (Note, the underlying method allows for variable point differentials between finish positions. For example the points gap between 1st and 2nd could be larger than the gap between 2nd and 3rd, and all the way down. The developers of CHIPS 3 decided that the variable spacing does not add anything, while making the method more complicated to use on the race course.)

Bonus material…
You be the judge – does Vixen establish the overlap for buoy room at the first leeward mark in the race? (“VooDoo,” seen first coming into the leeward mark, is actually Hustler, and finished in 2nd place in the race. Then WikiWiki and Vixen enter the frame.) Video is 1 min 10 sec duration, and is recorded at 2x realtime speed (I think). This is a 90MB movie file, so it may take a minute or so to open up, or download to, your computer, and it may stop and start while playing, so keep that in mind if you are on a slow internet link.

2020 Race Results
2020 Tuesday Series Ranking Progression
; ?>)
2020 Series Scores & Rankings
The Novel Corona Virus pandemic delayed the 2020 Etchells racing season a few weeks due to delays in crews getting their boats ready and launched on June 6. This resulted in holding a two week preseason in early June for the 5 boats that launched early, followed by a 12 week regular season starting on June 23, split into Summer and Fall series. However due to the varagies of the Casco Bay weather this year, the fleet completed races on only a scant 4 Tuesdays; races on the other 8 scheduled race days were abandoned due to an abundance of fog, lack of wind, or threats of thunderstorms and squalls. The race results are tabulated at the links presented below…
- 2020 (Regular) Season Series Overall Results (Low Point)
- 2020 Summer Series Results (Series completed on July 28)
- 2020 Fall Series Results (Series completed September 8)
- 2020 Lobster Bowl Regatta Results
- Bonus! Additional tables of Preseason Results:
- 2020 Preseason Series Results
- Combined (unofficial) 2020 Preseason + Regular Season
- Because inquiring minds want to know: scores for the combined series
- In setting the score for a DNC in the preseason series, these scoring tables treat the preseason as a separate, stand-alone series
- An ANC scoring code is used for a DNC in the preseason races
- An ANC scores 6 pts (5 entries plus 1 point) instead of
9 pts10 pts (9 entries plus 1 point) that would be awarded under Appendix A9 scoring if the preseason was considered to be continuous with the regular season series
- Daily Rankings: Preseason + Regular Season
- This method enters only 1 score each and every race week.
- The score is equal to the daily overall ranking of each boat.
- Thus, each Tuesday’s results count the same as every other week towards the season standings, no matter how many races are held that day.
- This way, if you miss a Tuesday when 3 races are held, you miss only 1 entry in the season scoring.
- And OOD (R/C duty) counts for only 1 entry each week, no matter how many races are held that day, so the R/C cannot “game” the scoring system by squeezing in more races.
- If there is a preference to combine the preseason scores with the regular season in the method applicable to a unified, continuous series, the value for the ANC can be changed and the scoring table can be updated.
- Plus, (Finally) the scores for the previous 4 Years (all 70 Races) combined into one Series
- Scores for skippers that have replaced their boat have their scores with their previous boat(s) combined and listed under the current boat
Note: the gold-, silver-, and bronze-shaded cells in the results table correspond to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for each race. The green-shaded cells are races that are discarded (throwouts) when calculating the series totals.

2018 Results
2018 Tuesday Series Ranking Progression
Here is a graph showing each boat’s ranking in the overall season series after each race of the 2018 season.
I see some natural boat groupings where standings were swapped back and forth within each group through the year. Maybe these groups could be a basis for scoring divisions for next year?
2018 Scored Position History
The scored position history is a little more confusing to sort out…
2018 Spring, Summer, Fall and Season Results (Tabular)
- 2018 Season Series Results (Low Point)
- 2018 Season Series Results (High Point)
- 2018 Fall Series Results
- 2018 Summer Series Results
- 2018 Spring Series Results
- Z-Score (Alternate Scoring) Results
- Top Gun Racer – Eigenvector Rankings
- 2018 Lobster Bowl Regatta Results
Note: the gold-, silver-, and bronze-colored cells in the results table correspond to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for each race. The green-colored cells are races that are discarded (throwouts) when calculating the series and daily totals.

Fleet 27 Race Results from 2017 & Prior
Prior Year’s Race Results: Tuesday Series Race results for 2013 – 2017 are now re-entered into the Sailwave race scoring program. The updated scoring/ranking is not 100% in agreement with the original scores I have been provided, but unless I receive clarifying information from members of the Fleet, I will use the current Sailwave scoring protocols. Some differences I note:
- The scores for R/C duty (scoring code OOD) originally (i.e., in 2015 and earlier) were calculated in a different manner that I have not figured out. In 2016 and 2017, the OOD score is the boat’s average of all races in the series being scored. In 2018, we calculate the OOD score as the average of all counted races in the series being scored. The 2018 SI’s provide that the boat performing R/C duty receives its average score for races run while it is R/C, but that leaves open whether that is the average of all races, the average of counted races, or some other average.
- Note, using only the “counted” races; i.e., excluding from the average any dropped races, is an interpretation of rule RRS A10(a) that gives the R/C the most reward, while still using the RDG(a) scoring code. To further increase the incentive, the boat performing R/C duty could be awarded a first place (as is done in some fleets).
- In 2016 and 2017, the OOD was counted as a competitor in the race, so that potentially bumped up the DNC/DNF/DNS/DSQ scores if the boat never raced, but only performed race committee duty. In 2018, we are not counting the OOD as a competitor in the race.
- SCP (percentage scoring penalty) currently rounds the adjusted score to the nearest whole number, per 2017-2020 RRS rule 44.3(c), and that causes a couple rankings to swap. The originally published scores did not round the adjusted (penalized) score to a whole number.
- The updated scores do not count as an entry (and thereby do not increase the DNC/DNS/DNF points for that series) any boat that never competed in that series (i.e., never came to the starting area and never ranked as a “starter.”
- Also, for all series in 2016 and earlier, the updated scores are low-point per Appendix A (but not A9) for each series being scored; as I understand it, the Fleet updated the scoring procedure to include appendix A9 starting with the 2017 season, which now rewards DNS and DNF boats for showing up to the race area (compared to DNC boats).
So, a few mid-fleet rankings do swap from the originally published results due to these (and possibly other) reasons. Comments welcome.
