7. Scoring: For daily scoring the Low Point Scoring System (RRS Appendix A) will apply. Exception to Appendix A2.1: A boat's series score shall be the sum of her daily series scores. For each individual race day, a boat's daily series score shall be the total of her race scores for that day, except that if 6 races are completed on that day, her worst score from that day shall be excluded. Discarded races apply only to the day they were sailed and do not transfer to subsequent days. For series scoring, daily positions will be totaled as the boats score. The total will be used in a Low Points Score for the series. If there are five race days completed, the worst race day position will be discarded.
