Shoot...I dunno...breaking it down though:
(b) If there is a tie in series scores between two or more boats, each boat's race scores shall be listed in the order of best to worst. At the point where there is a difference, the tie shall be broken in favour of the boat with the best score....
Sooo...we have a tie in score at
Boat A) 1.5,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 :
45.5Boat B) 1.5,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,2 :
45.5According to the first part of this rule, we then look at placements and we have a tie again since each sailor had one finish 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc...still a tie.
If a tie remains is shall be broken in favour of the boat that obtained her best score nearest the end of the series...
Because boat B finished better in the last race, they are now the winner.
Boat A) 1.5,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 :
45.5Boat B) 1.5,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,
2 :
45.5
