A boat that is penalized under rule 30.2 or that takes a penalty under rule 44.3(a) shall be scored points as provided in rule 44.3(c). SCORES DETERMINED BY THE RACE COMMITTEE A boat that did not start, comply with rule 30.2 or 30.3, or finish, or that takes a penalty under rule 44.3(a) or retires, shall be scored accordingly by the race committee without a hearing.

CHANGES IN PLACES AND SCORES OF OTHER BOATS If a boat is disqualified from a race or retires after finishing, each boat with a worse finishing place shall be moved up one place. If the protest committee decides to give redress by adjusting a boat’s score, the scores of other boats shall not be changed unless the protest committee decides otherwise. RACE TIES If boats are tied at the finishing line or if a handicap or rating system is used and boats have equal corrected times, the points for the place for which the boats have tied and for the place(s) immediately below shall be added together and divided equally. Boats tied for a race prize shall share it or be given equal prizes.
