For a sailor to be ranked he/she must meet the following criteria:
- The sailor must be a fully paid member of the F18 association
- They must complete at least 2 races to be ranked for a particular event
For an event to be ranked it must meet the following criteria:
- At least 5 boats must have partipated in the event
- At least 3 races have to be sailed
- F18's must have had a separate start from other fleets
- Class rules must be in operation

Calculation of points is as follows:

Events over the last 2 years are used for ranking
Regatta points (R) are awarded such that first place obtains 100 points, second place 99 and so on

Each event is graded (F)

Each event has a quality factor (Q) that relates to the number ranked sailors sailing that event

Events are also subject to a year factor (YWF), events within the past 1 year obtain of year factor of 1.5, events older than 1 year obtain a year factor of 1.0
Only the top percentage of results for each regatta will receive ranking points, for a Worlds that is 90%, for all other events it is 70%
Formula for points is P = R x F x Q x YWF ( R = Regatta Points, F = Event Grading Multiplier, Q = Quality Factor, YWF = Year Weighting Factor )
The top 4 ranking points (P) for each sailor are added together and are used to rank the sailors

This ranking system is used by ISAF, see http://www.isaf.org/default.asp?ID=j1~FhtjC8 for more details
