Prerequisites

Fleet Scoring must be enabled on the event before the Scoring Fleets menu appears.

1. Go to Events → Edit.
2. Under Settings → Race Operations, check Scoring.
3. Save the event.

Once enabled, Scoring Fleets will appear in the panel menu under Race Operations. The Results URL field is hidden while fleet scoring is active — results are served directly from the scoring system rather than from an external link.

Understanding Fleet Types

When creating a fleet you choose one of three types. The type controls how the fleet is scored and how it appears in standings and the public results page.

Fleet

A standalone scoring group. Boats are scored only against other boats in this fleet. Use this for a one-design class (e.g. "Laser Radial") or a handicap group (e.g. "PHRF Division A"). This is the most common type.

Division

An aggregate trophy that draws competitors from across multiple fleets. For example, a "Women's Overall" division may combine boats from several one-design fleets. Boats appear in their primary fleet for racing and also in the Division standings for the trophy. The standings table is grouped by competitor division when this type is selected.

Group

A sub-category within a fleet for a sub-trophy, such as a "Junior" group within a mixed open fleet. Boats are scored in the full fleet and also appear in the Group standings.

Creating a Scoring Fleet

1. Navigate to Race Operations → Scoring Fleets.
2. Click New Fleet.
3. Fill in the form:
   • Fleet Name — a clear, unique name for this fleet (e.g. "Laser Radial", "PHRF A", "Women's Trophy").
   • Type — Fleet, Division, or Group (see Understanding Fleet Types).
   • Scoring System — Low Point, Bonus Point, Time-on-Time, or Time-on-Distance (see Scoring Systems).
   • Number of Races — optionally enter the number of scheduled races. The system creates that many race records automatically so you can begin recording finishes immediately. If you increase this number later, additional races are added. If you decrease it, empty scheduled races at the end of the list are removed (races with any finishes recorded are never automatically deleted).
   • Throwouts — configure discard rules (see Scoring Systems & Throwouts).
4. Click Save Fleet.

You can edit any fleet setting at any time. After changing the scoring system or throwout rules, return to the Standings page and click Calculate to recompute scores.

Entry Filter Criteria

The lower half of the fleet form lets you define which competitors automatically belong in this fleet. Any combination of the four criteria may be set; all selected criteria are applied together (AND logic).

Boat Class

Restrict entries to competitors registered with a specific boat class (e.g. "Laser Radial"). The list is drawn from competitors already registered for the event.

Division

Restrict entries to competitors in a specific division (e.g. "Youth", "Open").

Handicap / Rating System

Restrict entries to competitors with a specific handicap certificate type (e.g. "PHRF", "IRC").

Club

Restrict entries to competitors from a specific club.

Leave all four fields blank if you prefer to add entries individually.

Example: Setting Boat Class = "Laser" and Division = "Youth" will only auto-populate competitors who are both in the Laser class and the Youth division.
