ACA(UK) Northern and Southern Championships Mini Series Northern and Southern Championships for 2011 TT Series For 2012 the groupings are as follows: Access Travellers Trophy 2012 Ben Ainslie Team Trophy The formula for calculating points is currently under review For information only: in 2011 the team trophy award was as follows: In order to make the team's contribution more representative of their overall ability and effort we will be taking into account their average performance by totaling each sailors total points in their best Five races in the series and dividing this by the total number of boats in their class. we will use this figure to calculate the team event results. 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 TT event of the season, and that 3. there be a maximum of two clubs that could combine. and neither of these clubs have more than three sailors in the TT series. 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:
