Appendix B
WINDSURFING COMPETITION RULES
(f) A2
Scoring decisions of the judges shall not be grounds for a request for redress by a board.
SERIES TIES (a) In a heat, if there is a tie in the total points given by one or more judges, it shall be broken in favour of the board with the higher single score in the priority category. If the categories are weighted equally, in wave performance competition the tie shall be broken in favour of the board with the higher single score in wave riding, and in freestyle competition in favour of the board with the higher score for overall impression. If a tie remains, in wave performance competition it shall be broken in favour of the board with the higher single score in the category without priority, and in freestyle competition it shall stand as the final result. If there is a tie in the series score, it shall be broken in favour of the board that scored better more times than the other board. All scores shall be used even if some of them are excluded scores. If a tie still remains, the heat shall be resailed. If this is not possible, the tie shall stand as the final result.
