D8 equalisation: a qualifying race one fleet never sailed does not count for anyone
ILCA 7 2024 — World Championship, Adelaide AUS (Addendum A2.8) · F1 · D8 · SI (reference-docs:events/ilca7-worlds-2024/SI-Amendment-1.pdf) · results (reference-docs:events/ilca7-worlds-2024/results-sailwave.html)
2 qualifying fleets · → Gold/Silver · discards: 1 discard from race 4.
A qualifying race only counts once every fleet has completed it: "A
qualifying series race will not count until all qualifying series fleets have
completed that race" (ILCA SI 7.7), and end-of-qualifying, ILCA abandons the
surplus so every boat has equal counts (Addendum A2.8). Here Yellow sailed a
second qualifying race that Blue never did, so that logical race is
incomplete and counts for nobody — Yellow's Q2 scores are recorded but
struck from the total. The standings rest on Q1 alone.
This is the equalisation rule the engine applies, and the only one: the
per-boat wording other sailing instructions use (Appendix LE 20.4(a), a
boat left holding more scores than the rest drops her most recent) says
the same thing. Yellow's surplus score is Q2, her most recent, and it is
the race struck here. `expected` verified against the engine: y1/y2/y3
net counts Q1 only (net 1/2/3), not Q1+Q2.
