A1 NUMBER OF RACES The number of races scheduled and the number required to be scored completed to constitute a series shall be stated in the notice of
race or sailing instructions;
see rule 90.3(a).
A2 SERIES SCORES A2.1 Each boat’s series score shall, subject to rule 90.3(b), be the total of her race scores excluding her worst score. However, the notice of race or sailing instructions may make a different arrangement by providing, for example, that no score will be excluded, that two or more scores will be excluded, or that a specified number of scores will be excluded if a specified number of races are scored. A race is completed if scored; see rule 90.3(a). If a boat has two or more equal worst scores, the score(s) for the race(s) sailed earliest in the series shall be excluded. The boat with the lowest series score wins and others shall be ranked accordingly. A2.2 If a boat has entered any race in a series, she shall
be scored for the whole series.
A3 STARTING TIMES AND
FINISHING PLACES The time of a boat’s starting signal shall be her starting time,
and the order in which boats finish a race shall determine their finishing places. However,
when a handicap or rating system is used a boat’s corrected time shall
determine her finishing place.
A4 SCORING SYSTEM This Low Point System
will apply unless the notice of race or sailing instructions specify
another system; see rule 90.3(a). Each boat
finishing and not thereafter
retiring, being penalized or given redress shall be scored points as follows: Finishing place Points
A5 SCORES DETERMINED BY
THE RACE COMMITTEE
A5.1 When a race committee determines that a boat: (a) did not sail the course, or (b) did not comply with rule 30.2,
30.3, 30.4 or 78.2, or (c) retired or took a
penalty under rule 44.3(a), it shall score the boat accordingly
without a hearing. Only the protest committee may take other scoring actions
that worsen a boat’s score.
A5.2 A boat that did not sail the course,
retired or was disqualified shall be scored points for the finishing place
one more than the number of boats entered in the series. A boat that
is penalized under rule 30.2 or that takes a penalty under rule
44.3(a) shall be scored points as provided in rule 44.3(c).
A5.3 If the notice of race or sailing instructions state
that rule A5.3 will apply, rule A5.2 is changed so that a boat that came to the
starting area but did not sail
the course, retired or was disqualified shall be scored points for the finishing place
one more than the number of boats that came to the starting area, and
a boat that did not come to the starting area shall be scored points
for the finishing place one more than the number of boats entered in
the series.
A6 CHANGES IN PLACES
AND SCORES OF OTHER BOATS
A6.1 If a boat is disqualified from a race, or retires after finishing, or
is scored Did not sail
the course, each boat with a worse finishing place shall be moved up one place.
A6.2 If the protest committee decides to give redress by
adjusting a boat’s score, the scores of other boats shall not be changed unless the protest committee decides otherwise.
A7 RACE TIES If boats are tied at the finishing line or if a handicap or rating
system is used and boats have equal corrected times, the points for the
place for which the boats have tied and for the place(s) immediately
below shall be added together and divided equally. Boats tied for a race prize shall share it or be given equal prizes.
A8 SERIES TIES
A8.1 If there is a series-score tie between two or more
boats, each boat’s race scores shall be listed in order of best to worst, and at the
first point(s) where there is a difference the tie shall be broken in
favour of the boat(s) with the best score(s). No excluded scores shall be used.
A8.2 If a tie remains between two or more boats, they shall
be ranked in order of their scores in the last race. Any remaining ties shall
be broken by using the tied boats’ scores in the next-to-last race
and so on until all ties are broken. These scores shall be used even if
some of them are excluded scores.
A9 GUIDANCE ON REDRESS If the protest committee decides to give redress by adjusting a
boat’s score for a race, it is advised to consider scoring her (a) points equal to the average, to the nearest tenth of a point
(0.05 to be rounded upward), of her points in all the races in the series except the race in question; (b) points equal to the average, to the nearest tenth of a point
(0.05 to be rounded upward), of her points in all the races before the race in question; or (c) points based on the position of the boat in the race at the
time of the incident that justified redress.

... and let us not forget Uncle Al's addition to this fine list. In yet another year of getting Laser entry forms with incorrect sail numbers while I was chief scorer for the Toronto Sailing & Canoe Club's annual Icebreaker Olympic Classes Regatta in 2011, I created the scoring code WFN as a service to my sanity and to long-suffering scorers everywhere. Interestingly, Sailwave did not accept Wrong F*cking Number as a valid addition to the list. Still :) |
