Shields Fleet One Scoring Rules for 2018  
       
  Scoring: The Cox-Sprague scoring system as shown in the One Design Championship Rules section of the YRA Year Book is recommended; however, each fleet may choose any scoring system. A TLE is scored by adding 50% of the difference between the number of fi finishers and starters (truncated if a fraction) to the number of finishers.  
    Shields Fleet One uses the Cox-Sprague system with the table given in the CS_Table tab of this workbook. This table differs from the YRA Year book table in the score assigned to the boat that finishes second in a two boat race, the scores assigned to boats that finish 21st or higher and the boats that are disqualified or do not finish.  
       
   YRA Season The races included in the YRA season standings will be all the races on the YRA schedule, including the Memorial Day Regatta,  the Independence Day Regatta, the LYC Race Week, the YRA-LIS One-Design Championship and all the Saturday YRA races with the exception of the Crew Race.
