Stotesbury Cup
Pick the order
Rank every crew in the field 1 → N. Score comes from how close you are to the actual finish, with bonuses for getting crews on the right side of the semifinal and final cutoffs (set per race), and podium bonuses for nailing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. The JV or Varsity subscriber with the highest score in each boat class wins a gift card.

Every crew you rank contributes points to your total. Three things matter:
- Proximity —
max(0, 20 − |your rank − their finish|). Nail the place: 20 pts. One off: 19. Twenty or more off: 0. - Bucket bonus — +5 if you put a crew on the right side of the top-12 semifinal cut, +10 for the top-6 final cut.
- Podium bonus — exact match on the podium: +50 for 1st, +30 for 2nd, +20 for 3rd. +5 each for getting 4th, 5th, or 6th exactly.
20 proximity + 10 final bucket + 5 semi bucket + 50 podium = 85 pts from that one crew.16 proximity (5 off → 20−4) + 5 semi bucket (both inside top 12) + 0 final bucket (you said in, they were out) = 21 pts.Ties are broken by smallest total absolute error. Crews with no finish (DNF / scratched) score 0 for that slot.
