Appendix D
TEAM RACING RULES
(c)
If the protested boat fails to respond, the protesting boat may request a decision by conspicuously displaying a yellow flag and hailing ‘Umpire’. An umpire shall then decide whether to penalize any boat. An umpire shall signal a decision in compliance with rule D2.4. If a boat hails for an umpire decision without complying with the protest procedure, an umpire shall signal No Penalty. A boat penalized by an umpire shall take a Two-Turns Penalty.
(d) (e) (f) (g) D2.6
Limited Umpiring This rule applies only if the sailing instructions so state and it then changes rules D2.2 and D2.5. When a boat protests and either there is no decision signalled, or an umpire displays a yellow flag with one long sound signalling he has insufficient facts to make a decision, the protesting boat is entitled to a hearing.
D2.7
Limitations on Other Proceedings A decision, action or non-action of an umpire shall not be (a) (b) (c) grounds for redress, subject to an appeal under rule 70, or grounds for abandoning a race after it has started.
The protest committee may decide to consider giving redress when it believes that an official boat, including an umpire boat, may have seriously interfered with a competing boat. D3 D3.1 SCORING A RACE (a) Each boat finishing a race shall be scored points equal to her finishing place. All other boats shall be scored points equal to the number of boats entitled to race. When a boat is scored OCS, 10 points shall be added to her score unless she retired as soon as possible after the starting signal. When a boat fails to take a penalty imposed by an umpire at or near the finishing line, she shall be scored points for last place and other scores shall be adjusted accordingly.
