Not quite sure I understand the problem - but I think it to be one of trying to "aggregate" results of different boats across different divisions / classes. This would appear to be similar to the need in the Block Island and Vineyard Races where teams of three boats register for team trophies. I am not 100% sure - others can probably help here - but what I think the scorers do is to "weight" the actual place in class/ division by the number of boats in that division - such that a boat scoring 1st in a division with 3 boats will get a poorer score than a boat scoring 1st in a division with 10 boats. You might find out the actual method on the Vineyard Race website.
