- Fifty precent of races needed to qualify.
- Any regatta with fewer than 7 entries does not count toward Season Championship.
- One throwout for every six races sailed.
- Cox-Sprague-Gesing scoring. For more information on C-S-G see the scoring table and the example.
- Rotating trophy for winner (half-hull model now in the hands of 2004 winner Jim Sorensen, WET LEOPARD).
- Keeper trophies for top three positions and for best newcomer not in the top three (where newcomer is defined as someone who did not qualify with Fleet #14 in the 2003 season). Also, a trophy will be presented to the winner of any long-distance race with 7 or more entries.
