Start:Start 1, Finishes:Place
Rank Place Points
1 1 1.0
2 2 2.5
2 2 2.5
4 4 4.0

Believe they should both be scored as 2points and no one with 3 points,
but can see no where to amend it.

Have another series 9 that i thought was the saem) and it beahves as
expected and scores 1,2,2,4.

Any ideas please?

Hi Gordon

Appendix A7 claims (copy from ISAF RRS 09-12):

"A7 RACE TIES
If boats are tied at the finishing line or if a handicap or rating
system is used and boats have equal corrected times, the points for
the place for which the boats have tied and for the place(s)
immediately below shall be added together and divided equally. Boats
tied for a race prize shall share it or be given equal prizes."

For boat 2 and 3, you take the places 2 and 3, add them and divide
between the two boats, which means they each get 2.5 points (5/2)

Another example: three boats all tie in 4th place:
(4+5+6)/3 = 15/3 = 5 points for each boat, and no one will be noted 4
and 6 points in that race.

Steen - so the scores are right. The boats tying for 2nd place score 2.5 points each. I agree with you
