2005 ACC Season Championship
The season championship table shows the progress of all 12 teams of the 32nd America’s Cup in the Louis Vuitton Acts for the current year. The teams are vying for the ACC Championship, a prize awarded to the best performer across all the Acts sailed this year. Alinghi, as the Defender, is eligible to compete for the annual ACC Championship, along with each of the 11 Challengers. » A short guide to understanding the Scoring System for the 32nd America's Cup
This is a ranking for the Challengers only; the influence of Alinghi is removed from the results of each Act. The Louis Vuitton Ranking measures the progress of the Challengers over each Act. Scores are weighted more heavily over time, with the Acts in 2005 multiplied by one, in 2006 by two and scores in Louis Vuitton Act 13 in 2007 multiplied by 3. Teams that are tied on points at the conclusion of an Act both score equivalent to the higher ranking (ties are not broken). At the conclusion of Louis Vuitton Act 13, the Challengers will score bonus points based upon their ranking that they take with them into the round robins of the Louis Vuitton Cup. » A short guide to understanding the Scoring System for the 32nd America's Cup
The challengers earn more Louis Vuitton Ranking points as the regatta progresses. In 2005, the top challenger in an Louis Vuitton Act earns 11 ranking points (1). In 2006, the value is doubled to 22 points (2). For Louis Vuitton Act 13, in 2007, the top challenger will earn 33 points (3), triple value compared to 2005.
