RRS: DNE (Disqualification Not Excludable) is a protest-committee disqualification that shall not be excluded from series scoring. Like DSQ but the DNE flag prevents discard selection. DNE scores N+1 using the dnfScoring setting (starters or entries). With 4 entered boats and seriesEntries scoring, DNE = 5.
Scoring configuration: 1 discard from race 3. DNF/OCS scoring: A5.2 (series entries).
Alice gets DNE — worst possible score (5 pts) but non-discardable.
Her next-worst discardable score is 1 (R1 or R2); discard one of those.
Alice: R1=1, R2=1, R3=5(DNE,non-disc). Total=7. Discard worst discardable=1(R1). Net=6.
Bob: R1=2, R2=2, R3=1. Total=5. Discard worst=2(R1). Net=3.
Carol: R1=3, R2=3, R3=2. Total=8. Discard worst=3(R1). Net=5.
David: R1=4, R2=4, R3=3. Total=11. Discard worst=4(R1). Net=7.
