Team racing involves sets of 3 or 4 boats forming a team. On each match two teams compete against each other to get the least amount of points possible, to win the match. Each boat gets as many points as their place in the finish, and each team sums their points.
For example, on a three boat team, there is a maximum of 21 points (1+2+3+4+5+6), therefore any winning combination is one that sums less than 11 points:
| 1+2+3 | = 6 |
| 1+4+5 | =10 |
| 2+3+4 | = 9 |
| 2+3+5 | =10 |
Usually each team races at least six times, and the team they compete against rotates so that each team plays every other team. The team with most wins is first; in the case of a tie look at head-to-head wins, and then at total points.
