Key elements missing:

- The classes to race, any handicap or rating system that will be used and the classes to which it will apply, conditions of entry and any restrictions on entries.
- The times of registration and warning signals for the practice race, if one is scheduled, and the first race, and succeeding races if known.

(a) The organizing authority shall publish a notice of race that conforms
to rule J1.


Quote
J1 NOTICE OF RACE CONTENTS
J1.1 The notice of race shall include the following information:
(1) the title, place and dates of the race and name of the organizing authority;
(2) that the race will be governed by the rules as defined in The Racing Rules of Sailing;
(3) a list of any other documents that will govern the event (for example, The Equipment Rules of Sailing, to the extent that
they apply), stating where or how each document or a copy of it may be seen;
(4) the classes to race, any handicap or rating system that will be used and the classes to which it will apply, conditions of entry
and any restrictions on entries;
(5) the times of registration and warning signals for the practice race, if one is scheduled, and the first race, and succeeding
races if known.


This "NOR" pretty much fails on all accounts.

Sounds like the whole weekend was full of fail.
