How the scoring works
The day’s race in each class is won by the lowest actual elapsed time between the two gates. Ties inside the timing register’s floor — one second at the window, two seconds in the archive — are ties, and every co-winner is named.
Race score is the handicap figure. It compares her actual time with the expectation for her class, direction, size, draught and the current she ran in; positive means better than expected. It is shown beside every boat as “vs expected” and it decides nothing. Figures are ranked at full precision and published to one decimal, so two boats showing the same decimal are not necessarily tied.
Odds are fair fractional odds for the chance of posting the fastest time in this field, with the same probability shown as a percentage. The stored probability is the canonical number; the fraction beside it is a rounded label. No stake, no prize.

Points rule
A correct pick earns 100 divided by the probability accepted when it was saved, so a 25% selection earns 400 points. A wrong pick earns zero and nothing is deducted. A tied first place divides the award between the co-winners. A withdrawn boat, a void contest or a late pick earns zero and is labelled void, not incorrect. Points are recognition only: no money, no entry fee, no cash value. No stake, no prize.
