We use this rule here on the west coast for all junior teams. If a Youth team flips they may receive assistance without penalty.

As for a adult team it is still help = DSQ

Happened to me at the worlds and I had no problem with that. Thankfully with 15 years of racing that was the first time I ever needed assistance righting my boat.
