The Results tab on the regatta public page shows all racing activity and scoring. This guide explains how to read the results, understand the standings, and access detailed race information.

Accessing Results

1. Go to the regatta's public page on RegattaHub
2. Click the "Results" tab at the top of the page
3. You'll arrive at the Series Results view

Key Interface Elements

Fleet Navigation Buttons

If the regatta has multiple fleets or divisions, you'll see a horizontal row of fleet buttons at the top:

• Each button represents a different fleet or racing class
• Click any button to jump directly to that fleet's standings
• The currently active fleet button is highlighted
• This makes it easy to switch between fleets without scrolling

Fleet Standings Sections

Each fleet has its own collapsible section that displays:

• Fleet Name: The class or fleet name (e.g., "PHRF Total Hours")
• Entry Count: Number of boats entered in this fleet
• Race Progress: Number of completed races (e.g., "3 of 5 races")
• Race Details Button: Opens detailed race-by-race results
• Expand/Collapse Button: Shows or hides the standings table

Standings Table (Expanded View)

When you expand a fleet section, you see a table with the following columns:

• Pos (Position): Your place in the series standings (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.)
• Sail #: Your boat's sail number
• Skipper: Name of the boat's skipper
• Boat Name: The name of your boat
• Boat Type: Class or type of boat (e.g., "J/24", "Viper 640")
• Race Scores: Individual race results in numbered columns (Race 1, Race 2, etc.)
• Total: Total points accumulated (including throwouts)
• Net: Net points after throwouts are applied

Understanding Your Scores

Score columns in the table show your finish position or points for each race:

• Low numbers are better: 1st place = 1 point, 2nd place = 2 points, etc.
• Throwouts: If a race is marked with a line through it, it's being discarded as a throwout
• Scoring systems vary: Some fleets use place scoring, others use time-on-distance
• Check the Sailing Instructions for how your specific fleet is scored

Scoring Groups

Some regattas use scoring groups to show subgroups within a fleet. For example:

• A PHRF fleet might have scoring groups for boats with different rating ranges
• Scoring groups use the same points as the overall fleet
• They show separate series standings within the larger fleet
• Groups appear both in the overall series standings and as separate sections

Accessing Race Details

View Detailed Race Information

To see detailed, race-by-race information:

1. Locate the fleet's standings section
