What are the Olympic sailing rules?
Just been thnking the same question....and I found: http://sailing.about.com/od/racing/a/formatscor.htm Basically 11 races for most events, and the winner of each race is awarded one point, 2nd 2 points etc. Add all the points up and discard the worst score. A final medal race happens, and the points are doubled. So first gets 2 points, second 4 points etc. These results can not be discarded. Gold medal to the one with least points. If there's a draw on points, then the winner is the one that came in the higher placed position in the medal race. Simple, eh?
