Scratch racing

Position-based scoring with no handicap. Each boat's score in a race equals its finishing position. Series score is the sum of race scores; lowest wins.

Examples

#Scenario
1 5 boats, 3 races, all finish — no discards, no tie-breaks
2 Result codes: DNC, DNF, OCS, and implicit DNC
3 One discard — ranking inverts once the discard applies
4 Two discards — threshold steps from 1 to 2 at 9 races
5 Tie-break: most first places (RRS A8.2)
6 Tie-break: most second places after equal firsts (RRS A8.2)
7 Tie-break: best score in most recent race (RRS A8.2)
8 Shared rank — boats that cross together share the position
