Head to Head Matches

·        Head to Head Matches: Cumulative weight of each schools' team will be weighed to determine the winner in each head to head match. Each
match will be between two schools. Each event will have two matches,
except for the championship, there will be no matches in the
championship.

boats.  The school with 3 boats count their top 2 boats.

   The overall "Head to Head Match" champion of the 3 event Series will be

meeting (this applies to schools bringing more than 4 boats)
 

Invitational

SERIES CHAMPIONS award based on the scoring of the three events.
