After a series of 11 races with three drops, I have two skippers tied on 20 points. Both have 9 races counting towards their total and both have had three first placings. One has had two second placings whilst the other has had three second placings. Sailwave places the skipper with the extra second placing above the other skipper. I was just wondering what criteria Sailwave uses when it determines who sits on the top line. Thanks.
Hi,
In answer to your question Sailwave follows the Tie Break procedure
in RRS Appendix A, i.e . by default the most firsts. most
seconds etc.
Appendix A SCORING * A8 SERIES TIES
A8.1* * If there is a series-score tie between two or
more boats, each boat’s
race scores shall be listed in order of best to worst,
and at the first
point(s) where there is a difference the tie shall be
broken in favour
of the boat(s) with the best score(s). No excluded
scores shall be
used.* * A8.2 If a tie remains between two or more boats,
they shall be ranked in
order of their scores in the last race. Any remaining
ties shall be
broken by using the tied boats’ scores in the
next-to-last race and so
on until all ties are broken. These scores shall be
used even if some
of them are excluded scores*
If you need access to World Sailig [ISAF} RRS they can be found at

Kind regards,
Huw

Sailwave breaks the ties according to The Racing Rules of Sailing, Appendix A, rule A8. The particular situation you describe is broken by rule A8.1.
