Both divisions will race in the following format on Friday.
3 rounds, points accumulate. At the end of the 3rd round, all divisions will be cut to the top 8 crews with the highest points scores. The remaining 8 crews in each division will contest 2 more rounds. The points from the previous 3 rounds will be carried over and continued. After the additional 2 rounds, the 3 crews in each division with the highest point score will proceed to the final selection races. The final selection will consist of 3 races. Each crew will rotate through each alley to ensure fairness. Point scores will start again from Zero. If after three rounds, there is no clear winner, then a sudden death race off will be conducted between the tied crews only.
All crews must race all 3 races.
At the completion of the Round Robin racing any crews on equal points who are in contention to qualify for future racing, or to determine an overall final result (if no finals are planned to be conducted – see notes below), result shall be decided on the following basis: (a) The crews involved will be compared firstly on head-to-head results, with the winner of the head-to-head qualifying to the next (elimination) round of racing. For example, if Crew A and Crew B only raced each other in heat two of the second round and Crew A beat Crew B in that race, then Crew A will qualify for the next round. (b) If the crews have not raced each other, or are still equal after comparing head-to-head results, the relative places from all round robin racing will be reviewed and the crew with the highest individual placing will proceed over the other crews. For example, if one of the crews on equal points has a first place, they will proceed over other crews who did not receive a first place in the rounds. This comparison will continue for second, third etc., places until there is a clear qualifier. (c) If the crews are still equal after both of these comparisons, then the round robin result will be declared a dead heat between the crews involved (as per Rule 2.24). All crews achieving the dead heat will share the round robin finish result and/or be allowed to progress in the competition.
