Ranking system

Sailonline's rankings are computed according to a low-score ISAF-like system: the rankings of every race included in the overall ranking are simply summed up.

If you don't start after registering or don't finish a race, your ranking as shown on the race leaderboard will be taken into account.

If you don't register for a race, the number of registered boats plus one will be used to compute your overall ranking. There is thus never a penalty for registering to a race.
