The World Match Racing Tour is a season long points championship for the ISAF Match Racing World Championship.

ISAF Match Racing World Championship Scoring

1. There are 132 points allocated to the top 10 places at every World Tour event except for the final event ( 2011 Monsoon Cup) which offers 198 points to the top 10 places

2. Skippers will count their best 5 scores toward the Championship

3. In addition to the 5 scores the skipper shall count points earned at the final event of the season.

4. The skipper with the highest score at the end of the season will be recognized as the ISAF Match Racing World Champion.

5. In the event of a tie at the end of the season, the skipper with the greater number of first, second or third place scores will be declared the champion. (No discards will be counted.)

If the tie still exists, the two skippers will be ranked in order of their scores in the final event. If the tie remains it will be broken by using the finishes in the next-to-last event and so on until the tie is broken.

New 2011 Scoring System

A new scoring system has been created for 2011 to give a more even spread for teams in the top 10. The plans will see points awarded down to 10th place rather than 8th at each stage, while the spread in points between each position will be reduced.

With Tour Card Holders being guaranteed invites to six stages, the new scoring system will still see the team's best five events count towards their overall position plus the points from the season finale, the Monsoon Cup which carries points worth 1.5 times more.
