Boats are eligible for scoring if the owner is an Active Member of Fleet 30 and the International Etchells Class Association, (IECA). A boat must participate in more than 40% of the races in the Fleet 30 Spring, Summer and Fall Series Schedule for her score to be considered for the overall Season Championship. A boat can qualify for any one of the three individual season series by participating in more than 40% of the individual series races. Results will be scored using the Low Point scoring system of Appendix A of the Racing Rules of Sailing, modified such that only eligible member yachts will be scored. A boat will be allowed to discard one-fifth of her starts. Discards are based on highest individual race scores. First, second and third place trophies will be awarded for the Season Championship and for the three individual season series. If the fleet budget allows, the bridge may award additional trophies at its discretion. Scores will be tabulated by the Race Chairman and posted to the website shortly after each regatta. Results are taken from the official postings of the Regatta organizers and adjusted to reflect the finishing sequence of only Fleet 30 eligible boats. Any issue not covered by rules above will be settled by the prescriptions of US Sailing. If there is no relevant prescription, the Fleet 30 Bridge will be the sole arbiter.
