Regatta Information

What is a Regatta?

A Regatta is a race consisting of members whose goal is to complete tasks to sail your co-op's yacht further, and gain points along the way to earn chests for rewards.

How often are Regattas?

Once a week. Regattas begin every Tuesday @ 8 AM UTC (3 AM EST / 1 AM PST /. 6/7 PM AUS). On Windows Phone platform regattas begin every Thursday.
Regattas last for 6 days and end the following Monday @ 8 AM UTC (3 AM EST / 1 AM PST/ 6/7 PM AUS). On Windows Phone platform regattas end on Wednesday.
You are given 24 hours on Monday to view results, collect rewards and prepare for the next Regatta.

How do I Participate in a Regatta?

Be a member of a co-op AND ensure that "take part in co-op competitions" is checked in Additional Settings before the regatta starts.
You can start doing tasks anytime after the weekly regatta starts.

Note: Join a Co-op around your level because tasks available will be based on the average co-op level.

How do I Opt Out of a Regatta?

"Take part in co-op competitions" is checked by default.
To opt out of the Regatta you must uncheck the "take part in co-op competitions" box in additional settings. (Don't forget to recheck the box later if you want to race in the next Regatta.)
Racing statuses update instantly, so you know in advance which members are racing in the next Regatta.
Opting in/out after a race starts only affects your racing status for the next Regatta, not the current race.

Leaving a Co-op After the Regatta Starts

If players leave during a Regatta race while their status was 'racing' your co-op will not lose any points earned; however, if the player(s) left before finishing all tasks it will put your co-op at a disadvantage.
All incomplete tasks and their associated points are forfeited, even if they rejoin the co-op.
Points earned from players who are kicked out of the co-op will remain, and they will not receive reward chests.

What if no members are racing in the Regatta?
If all members in the co-op opt out of the race, then your co-op will be demoted at the end of the Regatta week.

Restrict player from Regatta

According to Playrix: "Co-op leaders and co-leaders can restrict other co-op members from participating in regattas. If a regatta is currently in progress, the player will be restricted from participating in the current regatta. Otherwise, they will be restricted from participation in the upcoming regatta."

If a player is Restricted from Regatta, that player is no longer able to participate in the CURRENT regatta, even if the player tries to enable the "Take part in co-op competitions" (which will allow the player to participate in the next regatta).
If a player is Restricted from Regatta, that player will not be able to obtain the prizes at the end of that week's regatta.
Restricting a player after the Regatta starts seems to be useless as it does not benefit the co-op or the player. The effect is that it "punishes" the restricted player from receiving prizes at the end. There may be valid reasons a player is not able to participate in a Regatta until the weekend; however, after being restricted, that player cannot help the co-op. As such, use this feature judiciously.

Regatta Tasks

Task Points

Plan well, take your time and try to complete tasks worth the most points over the 6 days of Regatta.

Each task is worth 'x' amount of points ranging from 73 (Minimum) to 135 (Maximum) points.

Example: Wooden League

There are 7 tasks available in Wooden League.
The max amount of points you're able to get is 135 x 7 tasks = 945 points.
You can buy 1 extra task for 10 cash which brings the total points to 1080 for 1 member.

Task Information

Any member ranked elder, co-leader, or leader in the co-op is able to dump tasks from the task board. All 12 tasks on the board are shared by everyone in the co-op racing that week. Any task that is started or dumped from the board by a member will refresh randomly after 30 minutes. Tasks are randomly generated, each with a set probability of appearing depending on the length of the task. Tasks that have a lower level requirement, and take less time have less probability of appearing in higher leagues. For example the probabilities of plane and train tasks increase in higher leagues, while farming, heli-orders, and feeding tasks decrease.

Tip: Setting a range like 125-135 point tasks for everyone to aim for is a good strategy.
Tip: Have everyone check the task board and dump low point tasks when they appear.
Tip: Dumping low point tasks quickly is key to get a good start when everyone needs a task.

Dumping a task from the task board:

The trash can is blue File:Dump.png.
Refers to removing a task from the board without taking (starting) it.
These tasks don't count towards the number of tasks you are allowed to do (i.e. 7 in Wooden League, 15 in Gold League).
Lowers your Global Top Ranking, but does not affect your position in the Regatta race.

Dumping a task after starting it:

Forfeits the task and the trash can is red .
These tasks count towards the number of tasks you are allowed to do and you will earn 0 points.
Costs your co-op points since you have one task less, just like failing a task.
Lowers your Global Top Ranking.

You may need to dump a task like this if you are unable to complete the task for some reason.
Near the end of the race members with tasks leftover doing difficult tasks may want to dump them; this can allow them to complete easier or shorter tasks in the remaining time.

Reserving Tasks

Leaders and co-leaders can restrict who is allowed to reserve tasks in the co-op options: nobody, everybody, elders and (co-)leaders or (co-)leaders only. You can reserve one task on the board at a time by tapping the button in the task description next to the start button. This will feature an exclamation mark on the task icon for everyone else in the co-op to see.

You can start working on tasks you've reserved any time you want - you don't have to start with them.
Once you've reserved a task, you can still pick any other one, including tasks that have been reserved by other co-op members.
You can reserve a different task by canceling the first one. You can cancel reservations whenever you want.

Regatta Competition

Your co-op is competing against other co-ops who have the same number of members racing.

You complete tasks to advance to chests that open after the race is over.
Note: Co-ops may have more members, and if they do count the # of members who are actually racing.
The # of members racing should be the same for all co-ops unless someone was blocked or kicked/left.

Competition Ranks and Rewards

The ranks are determined by two factors: total points and time spent. The co-op with higher total points will have higher ranks. When the total points are equal, the team finishing first will have a higher rank. Dumping tasks has no effect on the race results position of the co-op. It only affects the global leader board.

Faster than the wind

3 Co-ops in the top 3.
Co-ops are promoted to the next league.
Rewards: 3 Treasure Chests (Better rewards for higher positions).

Steady Progress

4-12 Co-ops in the middle.
Co-ops stay in the same league.
Rewards: Coin Purse (More coins for higher positions).

Becalmed

3 Co-ops at the bottom.
Co-ops are demoted a league.
Rewards: Nothing.

Regatta Leagues

Leagues show the progress your co-op is making in regattas, and there are five of them to spice up the competition between co-ops. Co-ops compete in leagues. Based on regatta results, your co-op can be promoted or demoted between leagues according to the competition information above.
