Redress to the point of the award would have been somewhat unfair, as it is allegedly easier to pick up lower points during qualifying.

Redress based only on the result of the gold fleet up to the incident would have been unfair as well considering when the issue happened (only one race sailed in the gold fleet, with a hull full of water). Giving them three 12 would have been rough.

Interesting situation.

This said I can't figure out where the 6.3 is coming from on the results published so far. None of the obvious average calculations give me anything meaningful. All the number I'm building are all *lower* than 6.3...

The only way to get to 6.3 I found is to add 1 to all the qualification scores (including the discard) and then average them. But in that case his redress would be fixed, not fluctuating.

[Coming back after looking at all the results so far. I don't see any indication that the RDG is a fluctuating number. How do you know it is?]
