Scoring

This was scored as per standard.  The 4th was an excluded score so isn't included in the countback. 
They tied on results
They had the same scores on countback (1,1,2)
The boat which won the last race won.

	Rule 90.3 and Appendix A of the RRS. Standard is as above (most 1sts, most 2nds as initial tie break then the last race). I would imagine the SIs stated the scoring was to use last race as the tie break.

	I depends on how they apply them. I seem to recall that you can modify how you do countback from the 'standard' most 1sts, most 2nds, Last race both boats sailed. Looks like here they are saying the last race will be used as the first tie break point before most 1sts, mosts 3nds, etc... The guy who was 2nd wrote the report so cannot have been too upset over it.

	Looking at the Frampton Enterprise Open Meeting, 7th Sept. The skipper with 4,2,1,1 beat the skipper with 2,2,1,1. Don't you think that the count-back rules need a bit of a looking at?
