*TIES: When there is a tie on total points between two or more Boats,
the tie will be broken in favour of the Boat with the most first places
counting Legs and In Port Races, and, if the tie remains, the most second
places, and so on.
If after completing the procedure described above a tie still exists,
it will be broken in favour of the Boat that has the highest place on
the last Leg.
Any ties still remaining shall be broken in favour of the Boat that has
the highest place on the next-to-last race (Leg or In Port race) and
so on until all ties are broken.
On an In Port Race day when there has been two races completed and there
is a tie between Boats after the two races, the tie will be broken in
favour of the Boat with the highest placing between the tied boats in
the second race on that day, and shall be reapplied if ties remain.
