Would like to ask the list about scoring. In a fleet the winner of a series is the low point boat based on corrected times for each race. We have three fleets who compete for an overall trophy. The winner has been determined by the lowest overall time for the race series. Each fleet sails the same course, but using three different start times. This year an anomaly occurred in that the low point boat of the three fleets, which usually equates to the lowest overall time, did not win, and indeed a boat that did not win its fleet, coming second, won overall because it had a shorter accumulated time. To rationalize it I have been told that this is like a boat beats another in each of ten races by 5 seconds. For the next two races the previously second place boat wins each by 5 minutes. On overall time he is now the overall winner. Is this not bizarre. Comments would be welcome, particularly from persons knowing how other clubs deal with similar situations.
