Usually, the ISAF tie break... after a throw and then tied... the boat with the most firsts, seconds, etc breaks the tie.

David-you have times elapsed(real) times on the open A fleet?

No it is different.

I overlooked the fact that the total score (excluding the throw) is given already.

Name No. Boat Div Rating Pts Pts Pts Pts Pts Pts* Finish

Lynn Olson 1 F16 Open A 65.2 | 5 1 1 1 1 | tot 4 = 1 place
Nigel 602 F-18 Open A 62.4 | 1 3 2 3 3 | tot 9 = 2 place
Jody 724 F16 Open A 65.2 | 2 2 3 2 2 | tot 8 = 3 place

basically this means that there is no tie breaker as Nigel has 9 points overall while Jody has 8. Jody whould be second and Nigel should be third.

i.e.

Lynn Olson 1 F16 Open A 65.2 | 5 1 1 1 1 | tot 4 = 1 place
Jody 724 F16 Open A 65.2 | 2 2 3 2 2 | tot 8 = 2 place
Nigel 602 F-18 Open A 62.4 | 1 3 2 3 3 | tot 9 = 3 place


Meaning F16's took 1st and 2nd on handicap. It is also great to see Jody elect to race of the faster 2-up F16 handicap while singlehanding. No bitching about the peachy 1-up F16 handicap here. That is the spirit Jody, respect !

Please correct me if I made a mistake.

Thats all the info I have, I believe there is a paper copy with times on it(I dont have it or have access to it), then it was transcribed to the Excel spreadsheet. I was not involved in scoring, so I dont know what why how they came up with these numbers.

Thanks Wouter. Olie, Joanna and I were really intrested to see how the boats compare 1 up vs 2 up. The speed was very comparable. Joanna and Olie are about 255 together and I am around 165. I did not notice any time where one boat looked that much faster then the other, just times when one nut on the tiller did something smarter then the other nut.

Nigel realized the mistake and gave Jody the 2nd place trophy I believe

yes he did. I did not even realize the error until he told me.

Yep.

It was awesome racing with all you guys. My skipper may be old, but he knows what he's doing. Our first regatta together in almost 20 years. Had a great conversation w/ Rick Harper Saturday night. I was actually on the phone w/ Hootie Bushardt asking for the spreadsheet when he realized he goofed the results and bumped jody.

Thanks for a great weekend!

I figure the bump was on account of me wearing the LSU shirt. Who knew South Carolina people would not be happy to see purple. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Think you hit the nail on the head!

Yes, great racing! I hope you guys are there next year. I want a rematch... and some more wind.

Totally agree on the wind. Why race a cat if all you are going to do is drift?
