RailMeets For Scoring
Scoring pulls together the existing pillars of features and functions of the RailMeets ecosystem:
For Clubs - Regatta RC Volunteer Management, secure and hosted Crew and Boat Finders.
For Skippers - race program management of their race and event participation.
For Crew - race scheduling and skill development through the Boat and Crew Finders.
With scoring we offer a cohesive and seamlessly integrated platform for everyone in sailboat racing.
Comprehensive scoring systems: Support for PHRF (TOD/TOT), ORC, One Design, and Pursuit racing with automated handicap calculations. Direct integration with PHRF fleet platforms including MW PHRF, PHRF LE, and PHRF NE for seamless certificate lookup and validation. Score on certificate-based handicaps or manual ratings.
