Ties will be broken [Sailing instructions, Appendix 1]:
in order of precedence, in favour of the team(s) that has:
- if the tie is between two teams only, won the last race between them.
- sailed more races against teams that have a higher place.
- sailed fewer races against teams that have a lower place.
- the lowest sum of the places of the teams the tied teams have beaten.
- the lowest sum of the places of the teams to which the tied teams have lost.
- beaten the highest-placed team the tied teams have individually beaten.
- not been beaten by the lowest-placed team to which the tied teams have individually lost.
Step 1 will be applied whenever a step leaves a tie between two teams. Steps 2 to 7 will be repeated until no more ties can be broken when remaining ties will be broken:
- by the draw for the first round; ties in odd-numbered rounds will use the draw, ties in even-numbered rounds will use the draw inverted.
