Spice Cup Modified PHRF System

Spice Cup Races are scored using a modified PHRF System.  The results will be monitored and the system may be adjusted during the year.  The Base PHRF is computed using the average PHRF for the particular boat as listed by the US Sailing Association. Standard adjustments are made for an undersized genoa, non-spinnaker, and three bladed prop. This provides each boat with a certified handicap that can be used in races other than the Spice Cup series. In order to make racing more competitive for all participants, PHRFs are modified for the Spice Cup series according to the following procedure.

1. Each boat in the fleet will start the year with the adjustment computed from the boats performance in the previous year.  New boats will start with zero.  The race committee will have the responsibility to change a boats adjustment if performance shows that it is necessary to make the boat competitive or to protect the fleet.
2. After each race, the following months adjustment will be computed based on the performance in that days race compared with the existing adjustment.
3. All adjustments will be based on 85% of the adjustment needed to correct a boats PHRF to make the participating boats finish in a tie.
4. The adjustments will increase or decrease 20% of the difference between the previous adjustment and the computed adjustment for the latest race.
5. If there is a known condition in a boats performance, such as being late to the start line or doing a penalty turn, the race committee will modify the computed adjustment accordingly.
