The team with the lowest total points for their three sailors will win. The formular will be:
1. the combination lasts the whole year, and that 2. you declare the combination before the forth race of this season, and that 3. there be a maximum of two clubs that could combine. A team therefore is made up of each Clubs or declared teams best three sailors/boats overall series results, calculated according to the Team method laid out above, across the following classes: A personal invitation.
