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 Scratch — 5 boats, 3 races, all finish, no discards, no tie-breaks
2 Scratch — 5 boats, 3 races, penalty result codes (DNC, DNF, OCS)
3 Scratch — 5 boats, 5 races, one discard (threshold: 1 discard at 5 races)
4 Scratch — 3 boats, 9 races, two discards (thresholds: 1 at 5 races, 2 at 9 races)
5 Scratch — tie broken by most first places (RRS A8.2)
6 Scratch — tie broken by most second places after equal first places (RRS A8.2)
7 Scratch — tie broken by best score in most recent race (RRS A8.2 last resort)
8 Scratch — perfectly tied boats share a rank; next boat gets rank after both
9 Scratch — A5.3 starting-area scoring with start check-in data
10 Scratch — equal finish positions (tied on water)
11 Scratch — race with no finishers (all DNC) is excluded from scoring
12 Scratch — all-DNC race does not consume a discard slot (issue #129)
