My view is if you only time to the nearest second, you can only correct to the nearest second, since to do otherwise would be inaccurate.
Therefore if they have the same corrected time to the nearest second, then it is a tie.

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.

Although I don’t disagree with the logic that the corrected time is scored with more precision than the elapsed time, it isicap rule not the logic that governs in this case. IRC amd Portsmouth define how to round, PHRF does not and therefore PHRF needss to be scored unrounded.
