We have encountered an unusual problem, in tie breaking.
PROBLEM Rule A7 Race Ties not being scored correctly
Rebel Yell and Grand Illusion have the same corrected time, and under rule A7 Race Ties, their points for the place for which the boats have tied and for the place(s) immediately below shall be added together and divided equally.
The points are correctly allocated initially, both boats receive 3.5 points. However, Locomotion, who finished second is involved in an Arbitration hearing and is given a 40% scoring penalty. The scoring penalty is applied and calculated correctly, but when the race is rescored Rebel Yell and Grand Illusion are awarded 3 points each, not 3.5 points each. It appears to be taking the average of Locomotion, Rebel Yell and Grand Illusion to calculate the average.
