I was actually hoping that wasn't the case at a USSA Area qualifier. Perhaps the SIs allowed that (although even harder to believe)?

What were you hoping wasn't the case? The wind? - it was light on Saturday, but blew 15, gusting 20 on Sunday for both races. I mentioned the DSQ from memory - but as Matt points out RAF or DNF would be the same score and I was not party to the situation. There was no minimum wind requirement in the SI. After the infamous "Windgate" I'm comfortable with that. I thought there was enought wind on Saturday to run a good race. The conditions were challenging - with un even pressure and some holes - but everyone had the same information and so it came down to the skill of the sailor (putting yourself into the pressure and avoiding the holes).
