The NAMMERT Ranking
You race, sail and fish at events. We pay your entry fee. Event organisers can usually count on some backing from their federations. The people who actually take part mostly get nothing. For the 2027 season we are changing that: take part in a water sports event wearing the NAMMERT logo and your start number, show us the proof, and we refund your entry fee and move you up the ranking. Sailing, jet ski, jetboard, powerboats, angling and more.
You do not need a policy with us. Taking part is free.
How it works
Four steps, none of which costs you anything
Sign up
Fill in the form below. Your start number arrives by email, usually within two working days.
Print the logo
Print the sheet with your start number yourself and put it where it can be seen: on the boat, the board or your kit.
Take part
Enter any water sports event that is publicly advertised. You choose where and when. The organiser’s rules always come first.
Submit
Within 30 days: a photo showing logo and start number, proof that you took part, a link to your post and the receipt for the entry fee.
Points
What counts is turning up
Every checked event earns points. A post on social media earns more, and more again if people watch it.
| Event, with logo and start number in the picture | 10 |
| Instagram or TikTok post about it, labelled as an ad | +3 |
| Post with at least 1,000 views | +2 |
| Post with at least 10,000 views, instead of the 2 | +5 |
No points for position, time or speed. We reward taking part, not results. An insurer handing out points for going fast would be encouraging exactly the wrong thing. Winning is its own reward, it will not move you up this table.
Four ranks
Your rank grows with every event and appears next to your name in the ranking.
- Deckhandfrom 1 event
- Bosunfrom 3 events
- Helmsmanfrom 6 events
- Skipperfrom 10 events
The pot
Every euro pays for a real start
No jackpot for a lucky few, but entry fees for many. The pot is shown openly on this page, so everyone can see what is left.
Paid out: €0 of €10,000. Still available: €10,000.
- We refund the entry fee you can prove you paid, up to €100 per event and no more than €400 per athlete over the season.
- Each entry fee is refunded once, even if a whole crew starts on it, and only to whoever paid it. Every crew member with their own start number still gets the points.
- Refunds go in the order that complete entries have been checked. Once the pot is empty, refunds stop, points carry on.
- We pay once a month. We ask for your bank details by email, never in the form.
- Nothing is set against insurance premiums and there is no discount, customers included.
Ranking
The 2027 season ranking
Each category is ranked separately. A category gets its own table once it has 10 active athletes, and active means at least 3 checked events. Smaller categories are combined in the open class.
No events checked yet. The season starts on 1 April 2027, and until then we are handing out start numbers.
At the end of the season
The top three in every table with at least 10 active athletes receive a trophy and kit. There is no cash for this, the money is in the pot.
Logo
Your logo, printed at home
Enter your start number, open the sheet, print it. One page carries a large logo for the boat or board and four small ones for helmet, buoyancy aid and clothing. Print on sticker film or laminate it to make it weatherproof.
Three rules for the logo
- Do not change it: no other colours, no cropping, nothing added.
- Only where the organiser allows it. Some events do not permit third-party logos, and then it stays off.
- Never suggest we sponsor the event. The logo stands for you, not for the organiser.
Start number
Sign up for the 2027 season
One start number per person. No postal address, no account: we only need your year of birth for the age limit of 18, and you choose the name shown in the ranking.
Your sign-up has arrived.
We will assign your start number and email it to you, usually within two working days. You can then open the print sheet further up this page. Questions to cup@nammert.com.
Good to know
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be insured with you?
No, and that is a legal requirement rather than a courtesy. Insurance intermediaries in Germany may not give policyholders special benefits. So the ranking is open to everyone, refunds are paid in money and never set against a premium.
Which events count?
Publicly advertised water sports events with an organiser and an entry or results list: regattas, races, tournaments, meets. A private day out does not count, and neither does an event you organise yourself.
Does my finishing position count?
No. Points are for taking part and for posts, never for position, time or speed. Entries showing risky riding or broken rules are not counted.
Why does my post have to be labelled as an ad?
Because it earns you points and possibly a refund. If you get something for a post, it is advertising, and people have to be able to see that. A clear “Ad” or “Advertising” at the start of the post is enough.
What happens when the pot is empty?
Refunds stop for the season and this page says so. The ranking carries on to the end of the season, and the end-of-season prizes still go out.
We race as a crew. Who gets the entry fee?
Whoever paid it, and only once. Points, on the other hand, go to every crew member who takes part with their own start number and logo and submits the event. That way the pot pays each entry fee once and the crew still climbs the ranking together.
Could an entry count against me if I make a claim?
No. Entries are never used to assess a claim and have no effect on any existing or future insurance contract.
The season starts on 1 April 2027
Sign up now and you will have your start number long before your first event.
