Season Trophies

The qualifying events for the Clinton M. Bell Trophy, the Christopher Goodyear Neff Trophy and the Thomas W. Fowler Jr. Trophy are the Eastern and Western District Regattas, Larchmont Race Week and JSA Race Week. For the Larry Kean Memorial Trophy for Blue Jays, scores are computed from the Eastern and Western Districts, Larchmont Race Week and Blue Jay Race Week.

A helmsman must be a Sailing Member of the JSA, be associated with a Member Club, participate in all three Qualifying Events, and start in at least 75% of the races completed in those Qualifying Events for his class or division in order to qualify for the Season Trophies. At least 10 starters per class, in more than 50% of the races sailed is required to qualify that class for scoring in competition for perpetual Season Trophies. Co-skippers who qualify together must sail together unless they have also qualified independently and wish to sail separately.

A helmsman or crew may compete for the Clinton Bell and Goodyear Neff trophies by sailing in two different classes in qualifying events. The sailor must notify the JSA office prior to a qualifying event if he will be sailing in a class other than his regular class. Regular class is defined as the class in which he entered the first qualifying event: Eastern or Western Districts. A sailor may sail the events in one of the following combinations: Laser and 420 or Laser Radial and 420. A sailor may not switch between the two Laser classes.

A helmsman or crew who misses a JSA Qualifying Event(s) due to participation in specified Championship Events (JSA Class Championships, US Sailing Area B or US Sailing National Junior Championships), or to the event sanctioned practice/clinic immediately prior to these Championships, shall be scored according to special methods explained below.

For the purpose of awarding season trophies, races will be scored on a high point system. It should be noted that a high point system favors the boats with the larger fleet and that this reflects the desire to award these trophies to the sailors who have beaten the most competitors. One point is awarded for finishing and one point for each starting boat defeated. A boat withdrawing, not finishing, disqualified, or not participating shall be scored zero points for that race, unless they missed the JSA event due to participation in one of the events listed above. If a sailor was at one of these events, the sailor will be scored on the race results in the JSA Qualifying Events in which the sailor participated; even if it is only one event. Individual scores will be determined by dividing the total number of points a sailor receives by the maximum number of points which the sailor could have received in each of the races in which the sailor participated. The resulting percentage shall be figured to three decimal places. In case of a tie, the sailor which has one the greatest number of first places shall be awarded the place tied for and the other sailor the next succeeding place. If the tied sailors have an equal number of firsts, then seconds, thirds, etc., shall be taken into consideration in breaking the tie. No special race, in which all participants are not allowed to participate, will be used in computing scores for the Qualifying Events.

Any sailor who performs duties as an instructor (including "junior instructor") shall be eligible for season trophies provided the total remuneration for instructing is less than $500.00 per season.
