o No Throwouts/Discards shall be permitted.
o These changes are meant to maximize the benefit to Competitors who attend.
• Series Scoring:
Each Scored Race in a Series shall be included in the Series Scoring calculation –Series scoring uses the low-point scoring system awarded to Competitors per RRS (90.3 and Appendix A – specifically A9), except
o A DNC shall be scored as the number of Competitors for the Race Weekend + 1.
o All Series Totals shall exclude (discard) the lowest 40% of scores of each Competitor
- the number of Excluded Results (40%) is calculated from the total number of Scored Races for that Fleet during the Series (examples: a 7-race Series would exclude the Competitors worst 3 race scores [7*0.4 = 2.8] while a 11-race Series would exclude the Competitors worst 4 races [11*0.4=4.4] The number of discarded results will be to the nearest whole number with 0.5 being “rounded up” to 1.
o Each Series’ Scores (and the Discards therefrom) shall be considered discretely and shall have no reference to another Series or Year – even a Series whose dates are concomitant.
