How the race is won

The point scoring for the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race is simple. The 10-month event is made up of a total of 14 individual races.
Each of these races has 10 points on offer for first place, with nine for second place and so on down to one point for the 10th placed boat.
The race will include short sprints and long tactical races.

When two boats have the same points, the overall position is decided by which team has the greatest number of higher positions in individual races

The points are accumulated over the series, with the trophy awarded to the yacht with the highest total at the finish line in Liverpool in 2008. Under this Grand Prix style scoring, every race matters in deciding the overall winer - and it often means the final leg goes right down to the wire.
