Seeding:
Match Race Championship Brackets starting with the Thursday
Qualifying matches are based on seeding from Wednesday Fleet
Races 1 and 2. All matches in Naples including the Final
are single-elimination.
Match Racing Championship:
See Results Page for Match Race format and brackets.
Fleet Race Championship:
Scoring from fleet races 1 through 9 counts toward the final
standings, unlike previous ACWS events where only the final
Sunday race counted. All Races except the Final are
weighted evenly. Points in the final Sunday race will be
weighted up to 5x (for the Sunday winner) in calculating the
Naples Fleet Race Champion. See Results page for details.
Important Note:
Start times, race durations, course locations, and other details
are subject to change at the discretion of Race Management.
For reference:
Weather conditions caused
modification of the Saturday-Sunday lineup, which was
organized as shown below. The two Saturday Fleet Races
were dropped from the program and not sailed. Sunday's
Fleet Race became "Race 7":

This is a revised schedule published April 5, 2012. An
earlier schedule published March 22 had a different arrangement
in the Thursday and Friday Matches, but was relatively similar to
the current setup. An original schedule featured match
racing on the opening weekend, and a different progression for
the Match Racing Championship. For comparison,
see old 2012 ACWS Naples Schedule
