SCYYRA Frost Series
Standing Rules

PURPOSE
To encourage travel and high caliber competition for youth racing in Southern California at the major bays for Lasers with Radial Rig.

SPONSOR AND RULES
1. SCYYRA is the sponsor of the series.
2 Individual clubs will host each regatta. Sailing instructions, protest decisions, and official results of each host club shall be used as a basis to score.
3. ILCA and US Sailing rules shall apply to all races unless otherwise noted in particular race instructions.
4. To enter the series, a participant must fill out the Frost Series entry form and mail to the Frost Series chairman of SCYYRA. A participant may enter the series at the first or second scheduled regatta, but no later than the start of the first race.
5. An entry fee for the Frost may be required (this is separate from each regatta entry fee).
6. Only those regattas where an individual raced in Laser Radial Fleet will count towards the series.

THE SERIES
The series will consist of up to four (4) scheduled regattas when possible during the school year (Sept.-June).

TROPHIES
1. The Frost perpetual trophy is a Plexiglass design mounted on a base.
2. The Frost perpetual trophy shall be awarded at the end of the last event of the series to the junior who has the lowest cumulative point score for the scheduled regattas using the scoring system explained below.
3. Take home trophies shall be awarded to the top number of finishers in the series.
4. The perpetual trophy shall be kept for that year in the Yacht Club of the winning skipper. It the club does not have adequate facilities to retain the trophy, it shall then reside at a place determined by the SCYYRA Board of Directors.

SCORING
1. Frost series scoring shall be based in the official results of each regatta tabulated only against other Frost Series entrants. The US Sailing Scoring System, Appendix A of the Racing Rules, using the lowpoint points schedule, will apply.
2. Each yacht finishing a race and not thereafter retiring or being disqualified shall score points equal to her finishing position. Lowest score wins.
3. DNF and yachts which retire before finishing will score the number of unpenalized finishers, plus 1.

5. DNC (did not compete in a particular regatta) shall be equal to the total number of entries in the series.
6. Throwout races will be incorporated into the series scoring with the following formulas:

  • If 14-15 races are completed, there will be 1 throwout

  • If 16-17 races are completed, there will be 2 throwouts

  • If 18-19 races are completed, there will be 3 throwouts

  • If more than 20 races are sailed, there will be 4 throwouts
