• Redress for UFD Penalty Caused by Contact Before the Start: Protest Committee Responsibilities and Applicable Rules
  Jim re: "I suppose the lesson is to always protest for a start line incident."
  
  There are many lessons in this thread. Thank you to Tiziano for teeing this one up for the forum!
  
  Anywhere on the race course, I think a boat should always protest the compelling boat when they are banking on RRS 43.1(a) exoneration for themselves. Otherwise, they risk a 3rd boat protesting them and being out of luck.  A PC may decide not to protest the compelling boat. 
  
  Here it's the RC that is the 3rd party ... not a 3rd boat that is putting Y in jeopardy .. but it's sort'a the same pickle.

  No because both boats are parties to the valid protest.

• Best Scoring System to Select Champion Boat from multiple Divisions
  Niko,
  
  You suggested:
  
  "Gotcha. Since they all have handicaps, would you consider scoring them based on their adjusted average speed over the night? Basically handicapping the whole fleet against each other.
  To me, that seems more fair than comparing them based on the place they finish within their fleet of completely different competitors."
  
  I like your suggestion and I plan to run some tests vs the method I have been using around the Most Competitive Fleet.
  
  Thank you.
