The World Sailing Match Race Rankings Event Application/Grading Form must be completed by all events wishing to be included in the ISAF World Match Race Rankings. The form must be submitted to World Sailing at least four months prior the event. On completion of the event, the "actual data" and the event results must be completed, confirmed by the event Chief Umpire and returned to ISAF as soon as possible after the event.

The World Sailing Call Book for Match Racing provides a clear definition, for both competitors and umpires, how certain incidents will be called in match racing events. Through written and illustrated examples, scenarios that occur in match or team racing events are presented along with the rules applicable to that situation and how and when they should be applied.
