Appendix P will apply with the following changes:

 

 

On the first protest, if protested after she has finished, she will be given a scoring penalty of 8 points without a hearing.

 

8.2.  

RRS P 3 is modified to read: “If a boat has been protested for the first time under RRS P 1 and the race committee signals a postponement, general recall or abandonment, the penalty from her first protest is cancelled, but the protest is counted to determine the number of times she has been protested during the series.  If a boat has been protested for the second time under RRS P 1 and the race committee signals a postponement, general recall or abandonment, the boat shall not sail in this race, if it is restarted or resailed.  If the race is abandoned the boat shall not sail in the next race.  If she fails to do so, she shall be disqualified without a hearing and her score shall not be excluded.  If a boat has been protested for the third time under RRS P 1 and the race committee signals a postponement, general recall or abandonment, RRS P 2.3 applies”.

 

8.3.

Action taken by the jury under Appendix P will not be grounds for redress by a competitor.

 9. 

SCORING

 

9.1.

Each regatta will be scored as provided in RRS Appendix A using the Low Point System.

 

9.2. 

In the Laser 4.7 category there must be a minimum of 3 competitors at an event for scoring to be included in the Overall Series.

 

9.3.

A minimum of two races is required to validate an individual regatta for inclusion in the overall series ranking.

 

9.4.

If a points scoring penalty for a breach of rule 42 or under the Arbitration System would result in a score worse than DSQ, the penalty will be that corresponding to DSQ.  The scores of other boats will not be changed.

 

9.5.

Overall Series

The overall series will consist of 9 events (10 events for the Laser 4.7 Youth Grand Prix).  A minimum of 2 races must be sailed by a competitor to be included in the 2006 ranking.  For the Europa Cup Series (Standard Rig and Laser Radial Rig), the Laser Standard Youth Grand Prix and the Laser Radial Youth Grand Prix a competitor’s best 4 results will be scored in each Overall Series. For the Laser 4.7 Youth Grand Prix a competitor’s best 3 results PLUS the Laser 4.7 European Championship will be scored for the Overall series.

The winner shall be the boat with the lowest total score. When there is a tie on total points between two or more boats, the tie shall be broken in favour of the boat with the most first places, and when any such boats remain tied, the most second places and so on if necessary, for such races as count for total points. When the tie still remains, it shall stand as part of the final series results.

10.

INTERNATIONAL JURY

 

An international jury may be appointed in accordance with RRS Appendix N and perform the duties listed in RRS N 2, in which case the decision of the Jury will be final.

It is the responsibility of each sailor to decide to participate in a race or to continue racing.
