IRC under A5.3 — DNF uses starters+1, DNC keeps entries+1
RRS A5.3 is the alternative penalty rule: codes whose penalty base is 'starters' (DNF, DNS, OCS, RET, DSQ…) score the number of boats that came to the starting area + 1 instead of series entries + 1. Codes whose base is 'entries' (DNC, BFD) are unaffected. The setting applies equally to scratch and handicap fleets.
Scoring system: IRC
Fleet size = 5 (entries-base penalty = 6).
Check-in data is recorded (startPresent set on every row).
Boats present at the line: 1, 2, 3, 4 → starters = 4 (starters-base penalty = 5).
E (Echo) was absent → DNC.
Start 14:00:00
Boat 1 (TCC 1.0): finish 14:50:00 ET = 3000 CT = 3000.0 → 1st (1 pt)
Boat 2 (TCC 1.0): finish 15:00:00 ET = 3600 CT = 3600.0 → 2nd (2 pt)
Boat 3 (TCC 1.0): finish 15:10:00 ET = 4200 CT = 4200.0 → 3rd (3 pt)
Boat 4 (TCC 1.0): DNF → 5 pt (starters+1, A5.3)
Boat 5 (TCC 1.0): DNC → 6 pt (entries+1, unchanged)
