The Snipe class competition of the sailing events at the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara took place from October 17 to October 23 at the Vallarta Yacht Club in Puerto Vallarta.[1] The defending champion for the event was the Brazilian boat.
Points were assigned based on the finishing position in each race with 1 point awarded for first place, 2 points for second place, and so on. The total points were calculated from the top 9 results out of the first 10 races, where lower totals indicated better performance.In case a sailor was disqualified or did not complete a race, 8 points were automatically assigned for that particular race, as there were 7 sailors in this competition.
Following the initial races, the top 5 sailors proceeded to the final race, where placings counted double towards the final score. The sailor with the lowest total score ultimately emerged as the winner.[2]
All times are Central Standard Time (UTC-6).
