Hi Jake, not the way I read the rule. Both boats had their "best score" (singular) in race 1 (1.5). It's an unbroken tie the way I read the (non-standard) rule... but it could just be me misinterpreting it... Why on earth did they bother changing it though! The standard rule explicitly mentions excluding discards and working back though "next-to-last" races; this amended rule just refers to a boat's "best score". In the example, both boat's "best score"s are eqi-distant from the "end of the series"...
