Pepin, I was just trying to say that it was a legal option for the PC to toss the race.

I agree with JW's post (although I still don't understand all the references to "engaging", must be an inside joke). Without having been in the hearing, and certainly without a bit more info on what the course and signals were at the time, all I can say is that at a minimum, there apprears to have been sufficient confusion that was in part started by an action of the RC, combined with no good way to put Humpty Dumpty back together again, equals race tossed.
