Confusion. Too complicated for TV?!

It is legal. In over 10kts they can do what they want in terms of rocking, pumping and ooching so not a problem at all to do! 
They have international jury who police it. One of the British lads in the laser just got penalised for it in his medal race, which cost him bronze overall. 

That is one point of view GRF, but I have had non-sailing friends ask me about sailing events they had seen on the TV and although they didn't quite understand the in's and out's of it, loved the Finn medal race in 2012 where Ben A sailed Jonas back through the fleet and put a boat inbetween the two of them to take the win.

Quality footage and exposure on national platforms HAS to be better than no publicity
