Scores on on the website. A little about scoring later. But first,
Congratulations to John Edwards and the crew of Recovery. She smoked
everybody. Richard Cassell and his crew on Alexis really had her
moving, and were closing fast at the end.
A word about scoring. Reference Appendix A of The Racing Rules of
Sailing. This series is scored under the low point system. The low
point system uses a boat's finishing place as her score. If a boat
comes to the starting area but does not start or finish will be scored
one higher than all the boats that came to the starting ares. Boats
that do not come to the starting area are scored one more than the
number of boats entered in the series. At the end of the series, you
will get to throw out two races. Then, we'll add the points for each
boat, the boat with the lowest number wins, the next lowest is second,
third lowest third, and so on. Ties will be resolved as follows:
If the boats are tied ad the finish line, the points for the the place
for which they tied and the place immediately below that are added
together and the boats split them. In other words, if two bots tie for
3rd, each of them would get 3.5 points (3 plus 4 divided by 2).
If the boats are tied for the series, each boat's race score will be
listed in order of best to worst, and at the first point where there is
a difference, the ties will be broken in favor of the boat with the best
score(s). Scores of thrown out races are not used.
If there is still a tie, the rules spell out further decision making, up
to and including a coin toss.
