WCP = (100*RF – (P-1)*SF)*QF

where P is the position in the overall results for the event

RF - Regatta Factor Points for the first boat = (RF*100) are awarded based on the type of event or the number of starters

SF - Separation Factor
Points for subsequent boats are (P-1)*SF less than the first boat where P is the position in the overall results
