7.0 Scoring: If 4 or fewer races are completed, a boat’s series score will be the total of all her race scores. Otherwise, her worst score will be excluded. This changes RRS Appendix A rule A2. Boats failing to finish within 30 minutes after the first boat to finish will be scored TLP (time limit penalty). TLP is two plus the number of boats finishing within the time limit, and not thereafter retiring or being disqualified. This changes rule 35, A4.1, and A4.2.
Awards commensurate with the entry fee will be given to the top five finishers.
8.0 Launching: Two ramps are available. For launching off the ramp, competitors will be required to provide their own beach dollies. Road trailers can also be used.
