Racing 2023 — Notice to Competitors — Spring and Fall Series Scoring Exclusions

Resolving a Conflict Between the NoR and the SIs: Thursday Spring & Fall Series

There is a conflict between the NoR and the SIs with respect to the number of excluded races when scoring.

NoR 8 SCORING
Rule 8.2 — A boat’s score shall be the total of her race scores excluding her worst score (and thus applies for two or more races)
SI 11 SCORING
Rules 11.2(a and b) has one throw-out for 5, 6 or 7 races and no throw-outs for 1, 2, 3 or 4 races

This conflict is resolved by deleting SI rules 11.2(a and b) so that rule NoR rule 8.2 takes full effect. SI rules 11.1 and 11.3 remain in effect.
