There are a lot of question surrounding the point system we used at nationals. Here is a quick overview
To determine medals for nationals 1st 2nd and 3rd, 200m 500m and 2000m races were used in the calculation. In an event of a tie, the team who won the 500m would be declared the winner.
If you want to see how your team did, please look at my facebook page.
The matrix is based on number of teams entered and placement. The more teams and the higher placement earns the most points. Look at page 22 of the dbc rules..

6. Awarding of CCWC Entries
6.1 DBC awards CCWC entries on the basis of the 200/250m and 500m distances of the Racing Class. Therefore, a Club Crew is required to compete in both distances within a Racing Class at the Race Off Regatta to be considered for entry at CCWC.
6.2 There may be only one entry awarded per division and class to each club.
6.3 If only one eligible entry registers to compete in a Racing Class at the Race-Off Regatta, the Club registering that entry will be awarded, by acclamation, the CCWC entry for that Racing Class.
6.4 If more than one eligible entry registers to compete in a Racing Class at the Race-Off Regatta, the registered Crews shall compete against each other over all distances within the Racing Class and points will be awarded on the following basis: 1st place: 10 points 2nd place: 5 points 3rd place: 3 points 4th place: 2 points 5th place: 1 point
6.5 If the number of Crews in a Racing Class is the same as or less than the number of lanes, the Crews will compete against each other over the distances of 200/250 meters and 500 meters. Each race will be considered a final and points will be awarded on that basis.
6.6 If the number of Crews in a Racing Class is more than the number of lanes, the Crews will race against each other in elimination heats over the distances of 200/250 meters and 500 meters before proceeding to a final for each distance. The Crews remaining after the elimination heats will compete against each other in a final and points will be awarded on that basis.
6.7 If two or more Crews are tied in points for the 5th spot after completing races under section 6.4 or 6.5, the awarding of entries will be determined by the results of the 500m final
