am trying to break a tie in a PHRF time on distance race. I believe
I broached this subject a couple of years ago, but it is back as a new
subject.
The corrected time to the nearest second is the same between 2 boats in a
race.
Here are the rules, both from previous RRS and the current:
2001-2004 Version
A3 STARTING TIMES AND FINISHING PLACES
The time of a boatâs 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 system is used a boatâs elapsed time, corrected to the
nearest
second, shall determine her finishing place.
2005-2008 Version
A3 STARTING TIMES AND FINISHING PLACES
The time of a boatâs 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 boatâs
corrected time shall determine her finishing place.
As I mentioned, a couple of years ago, the decision was that
the phrase ‘corrected to the nearest second’ was the guiding
principal.
And you can see how the current rule has eliminated it.
Can you give any help here or guidance?
Thanks for your time in helping to resolve this issue.
