Results Revisited
Written by Stephen Ward   
Friday, 28 October 2011 21:00

Recently an eagled eyed member pointed out a couple of problems with the sailing results.
Firstly races 11 and 12 from the Spring Midweek series had been appended to the end of the Spring Series.
Also, racers who didn't finish a race which was part of a series were given points equal to the number of boats in the series plus one. This was incorrect and should have been number of boats who came to the starting area plus one.
These issues have now been corrected and all series results have been republished, I didn't spot any changes to top 3 finishes but there were some changes in the positions just after this.
Thanks again to the person who pointed out these issues and apologies for the mistake.

The full ISAF World Sailing Rule explaining this is shown below
"A9 RACE SCORES IN A SERIES LONGER THAN A REGATTA
For a series that is held over a period of time longer than a regatta, a boat that came to the starting area but did not start, did not finish, retired after finishing or was disqualified shall be scored points for the finishing place one more than the number of boats that came to the starting area. A boat that did not come to the starting area shall be scored points for the finishing place one more than the number of boats entered in the series."
