All Travellers Events
Open meeting overall results, as determined by the host club, will be used after removal of the places for those helms who were not Comet Class Association members on the day of the event. An Open meeting will count towards the series if it is completed on the advertised date or at a later date within the year. For each Open entrants may elect to use any of the four rigs: Standard, Xtra, Mino, or White Xtra, but once chosen, a rig may not be changed during an event.
Your score will be the sum of your best results. The number of results to include is equal to the number of events to qualify as listed below. E.g. if five Opens are completed, then you need to complete three Opens to qualify and your score is the sum of your best three results.
Aphelions
To qualify for a position for an Aphelion, our regional travellers series, you require entry into the minimum number of Opens. The minimum number of Open meetings depends on the number of completed Opens as listed below.
Ties will be broken in favour of the helm with the most 1sts, 2nds, 3rds, etc. in their results used to obtain their total score. If a tie remains it will be broken by the best place nearest the end of the series.
Orbital
To qualify for a position for the Orbital, our travellers series, you require entry into the minimum number of Open meetings including at least one of the National events (National or Association Championships). The minimum number of Open meetings depends on the number of completed Opens as listed below. If one of the National events is cancelled then the requirement to enter one of the National events is removed.
Ties will be broken in favour of the helm with the most 1sts, 2nds, 3rds, etc. in their results used to obtain their total score. Ties remaining after this will be broken by the better place at the National Championships or failing that by the better place at the Association Championships. If a tie remains it will be broken by the best place nearest the end of the series.
